NEW YORK NEW YORK – Well. Another long day at my day job. I managed to get out for a few minutes and catch this at Lever House with my Sony Nex-7. Not brilliant (the light was flat and ugly today frustrating my attempt to get something decent on the street at sunrise, but it’s a picture and I’ve promised you a picture a day.
On this day last year: the lady wears red.
NNEW YORK NEW YORK – A busy day of meetings. II got home and still hadn’t taken my picture (except one iPhone image from a meeting but I decided that it would be unprofessional to post it to the web. So I set up my Sony Nex-7 on a tripod in the dark with a wide lens (the 15mm Voigtlander) and did an image of out living room, draped with drop cloths, illuminated only by the light coming through the windows.
On this day last year: sunrise out my window.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I had lunch with Alexander at Gallaghers so I found myself in the Broadway Times Square area after lunch. The light was magnificent. I had a very good several hours so I’ve made a mini gallery. All taken with my Sony Nex-7 and Leica 24 mm Summilux lens.
After a few weeks use I’m convinced that the Nex-7 and cameras like it (“mirrorless” designs with good ergonomics and build quality) are the way forward for owners of Leica lenses. Fuji has announced a similar design.
On this day one year ago: Dirty snow.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – I took a drive this morning in the good morning light in a random direction. I ended up at the Hopkins Vineyard, nice people at a lovely site who not surprisingly make not so great wines (the climate here is closer to Greenland than Bordeaux). I carried my Nex-7 and a variety of Leica lenses. These images are taken with the Leica 90 mm Elmarit. The second image is three frames stitched.
On this day last year: A lot of snow. Told you so.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – We had a very light snow here. Very light indeed. About a quarter on an inch. 6 mm. The last big storm was the freak blizzard in October. I captured it in process with my Son Nex-7 and a Leica 90 mm Elmarit lens. Compare and contrast with last year – a Connecticut winter shot from 2011 will be last year’s picture tomorrow.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – So here I am on Park Avenue, lurking with my Nex-7 and 35mm Summilux lens in gorgeous morning light, capturing the run up to St. Valentine’s Day.
On this day one year ago: Park Avenue Straight Up. Day two of the film experiment.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I finally go out with my camera (Nex-7 with 24mm Summilux lens) after a full day of meetings. Captured this on Lexington Avenue. Oddly, last year’s picture on this day was taken at night a block away. With film! A brief, not very successful, fling with film.
On this day last year: Park Avenue at night. Note the scratch running most of the length of the photo – something that I commented on extensively last year.
