WARREN CONNECTICUT – Here we are continuing the thread on light coming from unexpected places. Taken with my Sony Nex-7 and 24mm Leica Summilux lens.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – More of the same. Two images of sunlight showing up in strange places causing me to take a fresh look at familiar places taken with my Sony NEX=7.
Later in the afternoon a storm passed over creating serious drama out my dining room window. Captured with my Alpa TC, Phase One digital back and 32mm Rodenstock lens.
On this day one year ago: Lincoln.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – This is an interesting time of year light wise. Sunrises and sunsets are much further North than you expect – on Manhattan this means that the sun appears to rise to the North because Manhattan is actually “tilted” 29 degrees to the East. The consequences: sunrises happen where you don’t expect them and sunlight illuminates interior scenes in unexpected ways. I’ll be exploring this phenomenon over the next couple of days. Anyway here’s sunlight in a place in our bedroom where I hadn’t seen it before, shot with my Sony NEX-7 and a 35mm Summilux lens.
On this day one year ago: Look up! A nice angle on the Chrysler Building taken with medium format.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Mary Karr read and sang at Joe’s Pub at the Public Theatre tonight – the performance was called “Kin”, the title of the CD of her songs written with Rodney Crowell. We showed up there with a bunch of publishing worthies and country and western royalty. A sensational evening. Shot with my Sony Nex-7 and Leica 35mm Summilux lens. (The blond woman by the way isn’t Mary Karr.)
On this day one year ago: Kent Congregational Church.

BROOKLYN NEW YORK – My friend and Yale classmate Ted Shen held a reception at his house in Brooklyn Heights for photographer David Michalek. It was a brilliant afternoon (actually overcast – I’m referring to the people). I used the opportunity to walk 30 yards to the Esplanade and capture an images of the Wall Street skyline to use as a banner for my blog. All images taken with my Sony Nex-7 camera and a 35mm Leica Summilux lens.
On this day one year ago: Cornwall Bridge Church.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – A perfect weekend. Here’s a view of the oak outside of our front door, and a snapshot of a picnic on our new old boat, and of the new old boat itself (a 1952 Chris Craft in amazingly good operating order – we got lucky on this one). I think of the second image as truly a moment to treasure. All taken with my Sony Nex-7.
I just received a camera that’s a bit of a curiosity. It’s called a Lytro. It incorporates highly innovative technology that lets you select a focus point after the image is taken, using Lytro’s proprietary software. This aspect of this device actually works and is amazing. But . . . the tiny viewing screen is useless in daylight (this is a point and guess camera) and the quality of the jpeg file output is poor. Here’s an example. Oh well . . .
On this day one year ago: Out my window.

ON this day one year ago: Two icons.
