NEW YORK NEW YORK – You’ve heard of dirty dancing and dirty weekends. Well this is the dreaded time of dirty snow. The streets in New York aren’t cleaned when there is heavy snow so as the snow melts the debris deposited as the snow accumulated ends up on the surface. Ugly. I shot dirty snow today because it’s pervasive. There wasn’t much else to look at. Shot with my infrared camera.

Day 1,587 of one a daily picture for the rest of my life.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – A clear day at last but I’m not fully in the moment so blah images. I sometimes shoot infrared in the winter – rarely in the summer because I don’t like the white leaves effect. Here’s an “out my window” with a digital camera that I had modified a few years ago so that it sees infrared only.

Day 1,586 of at least one photograph a day for the rest of my life.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – So I’ve got the same “the dog ate my homework” story as yesterday, but these images look pretty good so I probably won’t have to do further edits. There is, you might say, a fair amount of snow here. My friend, John Novogrod, and I snowshoed out of our back door for a few miles each way in 36 inches of fresh snow. No trails. No snowmobile tracks. A major workout. [I actually did have a further edit adding the first image below.]

WARREN CONNECTICUT – I’m writing this in New York where we live most of the time. The images from February 15 and 16 were taken in Connecticut where we have a weekend house. I edited the February 15 and 16 images in Connecticut and somehow only brought a portion of them back to New York. This may not be the best image of the day. I’ll be back in Connecticut next weekend and will update this post if I find something better. This photo-a-day thing is very demanding in terms of having a set and consistent workflow. I’ve edited this entry to include the first two images below. I was separated from these files when I first prepared this post.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – A nice sunny day for a walk in Central Park with a camera and boots with a good grip. This is Valentines Day. I gave Maria the red crystal heart. She noticed that I have used the crystal heart thing in the past and commented that the collection idea is nice but perhaps not as nice as a pair of shoes or an article of jewelry. I guess I need to diversify a bit on my Valentines giving. I’ve edited this post to include the first image below, which is my favorite for today. My travels separated me from the file when I first wrote this post; we’re rejoined now so here it is.

Day 1,583 of one photo every day for the rest of my life.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Well this certainly has been . . . winter. Winters are quite variable here. This one has been tough – one major storm after another. We’re not giving up and moving to Costa Rica yet, but the challenges of moving around in a large city in appalling weather kind of wear on you. This is shooting up Lexington Avenue in a blizzard, and looking West from our offices.
