NEW PRESTON and WAREN CONNECTICUT – So here’s another one of the buildings in New Preston Connecticut, shot with my Alpa Max, a 47mm Schneider Digitar lens and a Phase One IQ 180 back. I caught our friend Dorothee Grisebach and Maria with my Leica after we packed the car up to come back to New York.

On this day one year ago: Dog treats.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – Well our adult children decided today that they had had enough of a good thing (Warren Connecticut) and headed back to New York where things are predictably a bit more lively. Here is a shot of a field (it’s really hilly up here) and our departing children, spouse and friend from Germany. The weekend is winding down. We suffer the Sunday blues on Saturday. Leftovers are gone. The house seems empty.

On this day one year ago: Storm in Warren.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – So if the day after Christmas is Boxing Day, what’s the day after Thanksgiving? Purging Day? Leftovers Day? Cold Turkey Day. Try to Get Some Exercise Day? Get the Hell Out of the Kitchen Day? We’ll have to work on this.

My disposition has dramatically improved, foto-wise. I got out in good morning light with a tripod, my Alpa Max and the usual suspects in terms of lenses, filters and so on.

On this day one year ago: Thanksgiving 2010.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – Thanksgiving day. This (apart from Father’s day which is the most important day on the calendar) is my favorite holiday. It’s not commercialized. there is little or no guilt associated with it. There’s a lot of food, which in my mind is a good thing.

The downside of this holiday in our family is that I’m the most competent cook, so meal preparation tends to fall on me. By the time we sit down on Thanksgiving afternoon my eyes are crossing; I’ve got band-aids covering self-inflicted nicks, and tastings along the way have fully satisfied any cravings for turkey that I may have had. In reviewing past years’ work I have confirmed that Thanksgiving is not a auspicious day for photography for me. This year i produced a totally (and purposefully) out of focus image with my Ricoh GRD IV.

On this day one year ago: Venini vases.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – From a shopping point of view today was the run up to Thanksgiving. I spent most of the day shopping for food in anticipation of an onslaught of family and friends in Connecticut. I captured this with my Leica and a 12mm Voigtlander lens while crossing 86th Street to go to Fairway.
