WASHINGTON CONNECTICUT – Here’s another angle on the Washington Congregational Church, first presented on these pages here: follow this link for information on Washington CT. This is with my new Leica 35mm Summilux FLE lens – I’m experimenting with the out of focus rendering.
On this date last year: Anika Grocery.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – I took a walk today on the Lower East Side, ending up at Frankies on Clinton Street for an excellent lunch. Frankies Spuntino. The Lower East Side maintains its sruffy vibe well into the 21st Century, although some streets like Clinton Street are edging cautiously toward gentrification. This is a storefront on Delancey Street taken with my Leica M9 and my ever-present Voigtlander 12mm lens.
On this date last year: Lexington Avenue and 93rd Street.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – We had a dinner party for Michael and Penny Hayward, visiting Australian friends. This image was caught with my Nikon D700 and an 85mm f1.4D lens. For more pictures from this dinner see my flickr account: Dinner party for the Haywards.
On this day one year ago: Seagrams Building from the balcony of the Racquet and Tennis Club. This is one of my favorite images of the past year.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – Third Avenue and 55th Street with my Leica and 12mm Voigtlander lens.
On this date last year: Truffle dinner at James Beard.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – We had a reception for James Beard Foundation members this afternoon at Má Pêche, David Chang’s midtown outpost. Here’s a link: Má Pêche, and a link for the James Beard Foundation. I caught this in the mens’ room with my small Panasonic GF1. The lighting in the main room was interesting but poor for photograph. You can see that I was getting desperate.
One year ago on this date: traffic at Columbus Circle. One of my favorite images of the past year.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – Walking to the office.
On this day one year ago: Litchfield Congregational Church
NEW PRESTON CONNECTICUT – From its architecture this building (which houses youth activities for Washington CT) looks like a defrocked church – a church with its steeple removed. It’s quite close to the New Preston Congregational Church so I doubt that it was built on this spot – it was probably moved here after it was decommissioned. I’ve found no references to it on line – I’ll have to carry out more detailed research on the ground. Taken with my Leica M9 and a 35mm Summilux FLE lens. Two frames stitched.
On this date last year: Birches in early winter.
