BOSTON MASSACHUSETS – Day two here. Again I had a chance to get out in good light with my Leica Monochrom. Both images are taken with my 50mm “rigid” Summicron lens.

BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS – Here again and still shooting with legacy Carl Zeiss Jena lenses. Today I strapped the tiny 2.8 cm (28mm) f8.0 Tessar from 1937 onto my Sony 7rii. The best image of the day was a shadow selfie with security camera, but because of the difficulty of managing and shooting with this odd lens it was slightly out of focus. It’s ok at web resolution so I’ve presented here flaws and all. Also some images of the Boston Federal Reserve Bank in brutalist light. Did I mention that turning the Sony color images into something that looks like my work is a huge time sink.

On this day six years ago (day 90): Poets Walk, Central Park. A common tourist shot for a good reason, reasonably well executed here. One of the commenters on Twitter on this image referred to The Third Man, the fabulous film noir from 1949. Indeed this film has been an important influence on my visual style. Ironic that I’m shooting now with lenses from that era.

BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS – Here again. Interestingly, I was in Boston on this day five years ago when I shot the bus station an got a Cartier-Bresson collection of moving figures. Today the emphasis is on security cameras, which are everywhere; security cameras is one of the threads that I’m developing.
