NEW YORK NEW YORK – This is a visually interesting day. Very clear and extremely cold, after a rain last night, which means there is ice in unexpected places. Here’s Citigroup through a sheet of ice.
Day 1,610 of one picture a day for the rest of my life.
On this day one year ago (day 1,245): Beantown.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – A pretty mundane iPhone shot out my window. This sort of thing usually doesn’t work – I had to remove some reflections in Photoshop. Later in the day an image in severe back lighting with my Leica Monochrom.
Day 1,608 of one photo every day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year (day 1,243): Major meh.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I spend a fair amount of time lurking around Citicorp Center and the Lipstick Building looking up because this part of Manhattan is visually rich. You get a lot of “look ups” from me from around here. Here’s another. Eight frames stitched taken with my Leica Monochrom and 75mm Summicron lens.
Day 1,546 of one photograph a day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year: Sunnylands. The Annenberg estate, Sunnylands, in Palm Desert.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Out a window visiting a friend’s office. Taken with my Leica Monochrom and 50mm Dual Range Summicron lens. Four frames stitched.
On this day one year ago: Orchid.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Back in midtown for meetings. A bit of the Racquet Club’s Florentine exterior with Citicorp in the background, taken with my Leica Monochrom and 1959 Dual Range Summicron lens. Two frames stitched.
On this day last year: David Michelek.
NEW YORK NEW YORK. I love shooting Manhattan at night. My Leica Monochrom and a fast 24mm Summilux f1.4 lens let me produce very interesting night images working without a tripod. I spend a lot of time shooting straight up.
On this day last year: Light snow.
NEW YOR NEW YORK – As I may have mentioned before I’m in the process of getting my sea legs with a new camera, a Leica S medium format camera. This is always lengthy process. It obviously requires familiarity with the controls, but also an understanding of the camera’s capabilities and how to get the most out of it. This requires months of intense usage. Some of my early images have been uninteresting but I’m starting to hit my stride working back over some familiar territory. Today it was skyscrapers in dramatic light, something that I’ve done a lot of given my inclination toward landscape and my residence in Manhattan.
On this day last year: hay bales.
