NEW YORK NEW YORK – At dinner with friends. Kimball Chen was in the unfortunate position of sitting directly opposite me while I was packing my Leica Monochrom and 50mm Noctilux lens.
On this day one year ago: Shanghai.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Back in New York, still shooting with my Monchrom and Dual Range Summicron. It’s hard to find tenderloin-style sleeze in Manhattan at this point – porn shops have been zoned and priced out of the real estate market. There is, however, still a pocket of porn shops around the Port Authority Bus Terminal.
On this day last year: Container terminal.

BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS – Another solitary figure, taken with my Leica Monochrom and Dual Range Summicron. Not much going on here – I’m a bit rushed today.
On this day one year ago: Hong Kong.

BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS – I’m accused of having a second family here. My business reliably takes me to Boston for a few days each month. I’m continuing to explore my Leica Monochrom and 1957 Dual Range Summicron (which has a lovely fingerprint on the Monochrom).
On this day one year ago: Hong Kong.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – Another beautiful day in rural Northwestern Connecticut. We’ve turned the two or three acres nearest the house into a parklike setting, mowing around the mature oaks and maples. Three angles captured with my Leica Monochrom and my 1957 lens, a 50mm dual range Summicron.
On this day last year: Self, on the way to
Hong Kong.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – Out with the Leica Monochrom. Since this is my site I can probably get away with saying that this thing delivers medium format quality without being flamed. It’s a real sensation. It doesn’t see in color so there is no bayer array in front of the sensor, roughly doubling the sensor’s resolution from 18 megapixels to the equivalent of 30 or so. Here are some more experiments with film looks all taken with the Monochrom and 50mm Dual Range Summicron lens.
Three frames stitched in Photoshop.
On this day one year ago: Feet.
