NEW YORK NEW YORK – Today I’m documenting the most elaborate gift that we have ever received. We have a friend of very long standing who is a London-based architect. For our wedding anniversary he painted in miniature a copy of Tiepolo’s Anthony and Cleopatra with Maria’s face on Cleopatra and mine on Anthony. No kidding. And then he built an elaborate frame to house it. Tiepolo is one of my big three Italian artists of all time. The image Guill selected is lush and voluptuous, full of Tiepolo excesses. Operatic. Just like Maria and me. Wow. (Let’s leave aside the fact that things ended badly for Anthony and Cleopatra.) Here it is in living black and white shot with my Leica S2 medium format camera and a 120mm macro lens from a tripod (I got serious with this one). Actually two frames stitched to maximize detail.

On this day one year ago: gas station.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – A perfect early Autumn day. I had a meeting in offices above Bryant Park and captured a view of the park (three frames stitched) and the inside of the offices with my Leica Monochrom and Luxochron lens. Here you go:

Remember my post on Mallomar Season. It’s here! Note the follow display at Fairway:

On this day one year ago: Staten Island ferry.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – Marvelous light this morning with sun and fog together here. I caught this on my way to buy the paper. It’s good enough that I’m using a slightly edited version as a banner. Taken with my Leica Monochrom and Luxochrom lens.

On this day last year: Oldest Protestant Church in the New World.

On this day last year: Bermuda.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – We went to the opening of the New York Film Festival at Alice Tully Hall tonight – we saw Captain Phillips which is a sensation. Dinner before was at the Leopard, a long-time New York restaurant that has fairly recently located itself in the former Cafe des Artistes space. Still a remarkable place to enjoy a meal. Taken with my Leica Moncochrom and Luxochron lens. Two frames stitched.

On this day last year: Bermuda.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I had a drive through MISERABLE TRAFFIC to drop our car off for service on the far west side (this week is the opening of the UN session which makes New York a mess), and then walked back cross town to my office. Not too much going on visually because of a high bright overcast but the sun broke through for a moment and I got this with my Leica Monochrom and Luxochron lens.

On this day last year: Bogy in my dreams.
