ANTIGUA – Still here. Slogging away at relaxing on the beach. If you know of another daily photo shooter who does a better job with the tropics send me a link.
Day 1,574 of one picture a day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year: Friends.
ANTIGUA – We went to Half-Moon Bay this afternoon. This gave me an opportunity to explore the ruins of a hotel that was abandoned after it sustained major hurricane damage. A bit later, walking down some steps, I heard a periodic clicking. It was the sugger, clicking as the camera bounced against my body. This is an example of what I call a “purse shot” after purse dialed calls – calls that are made by a mobile phone as it bounces around someone’s purse.
1,573 days of daily posting a picture for as long as I live.
On this day last year: Venini.
ANTIGUA – I packed a light tripod in my checked bag. I took it out in twilight this evening and set it up in the surf and took multiple long exposures, which I stacked in Photoshop to the following effect.
Day 1,572 of one picture daily for the rest of my life.
On this day last year: New Preston Falls. This was taken with my Leica Monochrom and Carl Zeiss Jena 5cm f1.5 lens from 1936.
ENGLISH HARBOR ANTIGUA – Maria spent the morning on a couple of dives from here so I had a chance to walk around and absorb some tourist color at Nelson’s dockyard. This was the home of the British fleet in the Caribbean in the 18th century. Nice Georgian architecture and some good local faces. Here’s Maria’s scuba instructor and a guy who has just arrived with three teammates from having rowed here across the Atlantic from the Canary Islands in a specially built boat in 59 days. Quite a feat. I’m also providing a sample of Georgian buildings.
Day 1,571 of one photo every day for the rest of my life. I didn’t managed to get it down to one images today. What I really mean is at least one photo every day.
On this day four years ago: Triborough Bridge.
ANTIGUA – Today was one of those days where I didn’t feel much like photography. Tropical torpor. I ended up shooting the ceiling of the cottage that we’re staying in with some care with my Leica Monochrom.
Day 1,570 of one photograph a day for the rest of my life.
On this day four years ago (day 77): Chrysler Building. This is one of my favorite images of my entire photo-a-day effort.
ANTIGUA – We had thunderstorms this afternoon and thus attractive clouds and a rainbow. Maria hid out on the beach under her hat. Here you go:
Day 1,569 of my daily exposure exercise: one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day two years ago:
the Majestic.
ANTIGUA – We haven’t been to Antigua for years. Actually decades. This was one of the stops on our Caribbean tour on our honeymoon. We’ve come down here for a week to escape the unpleasant weather in New York and Connecticut. Here’s some foam in the surf in the very late afternoon. Don’t expect much from me here. Remember that I fall apart visually in the tropics.
Day 1,568 of my long-running on photo a day project.
On this day last year: On the way to Tobago Cays. Tough day on the way to Tobago Cays.
