WARREN CONNECTICUT – Birches in good light taken on a walk with Basil the Norwich Terrier with my Hasselblad 60 meg back and Alpa TC with a 36mm Schneider APO lens. This combination helps make relatively prosaic landscape look important.
On this day one year ago: Post office building on Third Avenue.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I attended a benefit at the Waldorf-Astoria’s Grand Ballroom for the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation. I thought it might be interesting to connect with the Marine Corps part of my background. A lot of interesting people but I got bogged down in conversation, of all things, and didn’t really connect with the visual scene, despite the scores of full dress uniforms. Taken with my Panasonic GH2 and a 20mm pancake lens after quite a few glasses of wine.
This was actually my last photographic act on Thursday – barely making it into Friday which was an overwhelming busy day at my day job.
On this day one year ago: Socializing at Lever House.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I took a walk today in the Bryant Park area. This is the relatively new Bank of America Tower, the anchor for new office space development west of Bryant Park. shot with my Alpa TC with 60 meg Hasselblad back and 36mm Schneider APO lens. The building, which is certified green, is in better shape than its tenant.
On this day one year ago: Good morning light out my dining room window.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – This evening we spent a couple of hours at a party at ICE (the Institute for Culinary Education) celebrating the publication of Nathan Myrvold’s book Modernist Cuisine.

DELTA FLIGHT 2137 – I need to get my daily picture done even when I’m doing dumb or boring things like riding in an airplane. I caught sunrise out of my window – which partially redeemed a long flight in a window seat. Taken with my Panasonic GH2 and a 20mm pancake lens.
On this day one year ago: Zion Lutheran Church, New Orleans.
