GASPARILLA ISLAND, FLORIDA – We visited this island paradise, Nantucket with palm trees, a year ago and kind of liked it. So we’re back. But this time the weather was uncooperative. Mostly cold and dreary with fleeting sunlight. But we’re with good friends so it’s a terrific weekend in any event. Here’s a picture of Tom Barry at dinner, taken with my Leica Monochrom and 50mm f.95 Noctilux lens. I’ve gained a lot more confidence in this lens since I’ve gotten glasses that correct for my astigmatism.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – A gray day with freezing rain. I drove to the Washington Club beach on Lake Waramaug to capture the grayness. Still shooting with my Leica Monochrom and f.95 Noctilux lens. The Nocti is not the most obvious lens to use in daylight but it is critically sharp and has a lovely signature. My shots across the lake are not entirely successful. Three frames stitched.
