NEW YORK NEW YORK – The times they are a-changing. This evening we went to a book party for an “enhanced e-book” version of a book about Bob Marley. Really fun. “I Shot the Sheriff” running in the background, a good bar, terrific food and a great looking crowd. Here’s a pose for the camera captured with my Sony Nex-7 and 24mm Sony Zeiss lens. About 20% of these are out of focus because the lens hunts so badly.

Maria and friend:

One this day one year ago: a lovely image captured with my Hasselblad. Sometimes I’m pretty good.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – Well, well, well. Here we are on Super Bowl Sunday and New York has a horse in the race. One of the great surprises of the regular season. We had a dozen or so friends over to watch the game and eat chili, corn chips, salsa, empanadas and so on, and to drink a dozen obscure varieties of beer (once again I found some Full Sail IPA) and some pretty decent wines. I shot the festivities with my Nex-7 and the 24mm Sony Schneider. As you will see from the image below ambient light was not all that low, but it still hunted like the devil focusing. A big problem at events. But the image quality is very nice.

From earlier in the day. Taken in Warren with m Alpa Max and 72mm Schneider lens. Two frames stitched.

On this day last year: ice storm.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – Still working the kinks out of the Nex-7. I spent the morning shooting familiar things in Connecticut, including a small barn on our property that I use as an informal resolution test. Here I’m shooting it with the 24mm Sony Zeiss lens, which produces a superb result (at least in terms of image quality).

On this day last year: Warren at night.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Now we’re beginning to understand the Nex-7 a little better, and beginning to rock and roll. Here we are on Lexington Avenue in the 50s with a fairly typical take for me on Citicorp Center. Taken with the Nex-7 and the Sony Zeiss 24mm lens.

On this day last year: Time Warner

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Well here we are on Groundhog Day. I had an early evening meeting in midtown just off of Fifth Avenue so I took the opportunity to walk over to Radio City Music Hall to capture this with my Sony Nex-7 camera and a Sony Zeiss 24mm lens.

On this day one year ago: /study date.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – Met my daughter for breakfast on the West Side. Caught this view of The Majestic as I walked back through the park to my office. Captured with my Sony Nex-7 and my Leica 24mm Summilux lens. The cool thing about having 24 mess of resolution is that when you do extreme perspective corrections in Lightroom or Photoshop there is still enough resolute to print the image large (it took an extreme perspective correction to fix the converging vertical lines on this one – something that I had planned when I captured the image).

On this day one year ago: This is not a good portrait of a friend. Really. But some of the goofballs who follow this blog rated it four stars. Go figure.
