NEW YORK NEW YORK – My firm had a lovely outing this evening at the Central Park Zoo for summer associates. The idea was to bring families to try to prove to them that we are human beings. Harsh light made photography hard until a found myself in the chiaroscuro depths of the Penguin House. Taken with my Leica Monochrom.

Day 1,707 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.

On this day last year (day 1,343): Metropolitan Club. I’ve re-edited the group of pictures that I took on this day last year. I like this one much more than the one that I posted a year ago.

CHICAGO ILLINOIS – Still here, but rushing to get back to New York between thunderstorms. We stayed at a boutique hotel on the gold coast, so I spent some time exploring local alleys. This is expensive real estate. Odd that Chicago hasn’t put the utilities underground.

Both images with my Leica Monocchrom.

Day 1,703 of one photo every day for the rest of my life.

CHICAGO ILLINOIS – My daughter, Francesca, brought me here for a combined birthday/fathers day present: dinner tonight at Aiinea, currently number 9 on the San Peligrino list of the world’s 50 best restaurants. Much of the weekend was spent stuck in the air transport system as a result of weather delays. Today’s image could have been anywhere – we didn’t have time for any of the iconic Chicago places.

Day 1,703 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
