WARREN CONNECTICUT – We seem to be vying with Seattle for the foggiest place in the known universe. Yes. It’s foggy today in Connecticut. And four years ago it was foggy on April 26 on Park Avenue. There are lots of pictures of fog that I could have posted today (both current and historical): these were just the best looking ones. All shot with my Leica Monochrom – the perfect camera for the weather.

Day 1,654 of one photo a day for the rest of my life.

On this day four years ago (day 193): More fog. Shot in color but but for the taxis who would know.

NEW PRESTON CONNECTICUT – Family and friends have gathered in Washington CT for Easter weekend. Remember that I’m the foodie in the family so this means a weekend in the kitchen. There was decent light so I managed to sneak out for some photographs. The pictures of the New Preston Congregational Church are taken with a long lens (a Leica R 280mm fitted to my Leica M with an adapter and steadied on a car window with a beanbag), which is unusual for me. This is another one of the days when I’ve had difficulty editing down to a single picture in the face of the time pressure to produce this post.

Day 1,647 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.

On this day three years ago (day 551): Watch repair.

BANTAM CONNECTICUT – This is a muddy, cloudy day with a flat sky and little going on visually. I finally photographed a door on the movie theater in this tiny town.

Day 1,646 of one picture a day for the rest of my life.

On this day three years ago (day 550): Annabel Lee. Three years ago we were in Shanghai.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – Roadside snow fencing.

Day 1,634 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.

On this day one year ago (day 1,269): New Preston Congregational Church. I’ve decided that I like the black and white version of this image more than the color version that I published last year.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – Hideous time of year in rural Northwestern Connecticut. Spring arrives late every year and this year it’s really late. But . . . heavy ground fog this morning provided some photo opportunities.

Day 1,633 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.

On this day three years ago (day 534): Big yellow bear. No kidding on this one. This is not photoshop trickery. Urs Fisher’s Big yellow teddy bear lamp was actually installed in the piazza in front of the Seagram building. Three frames stitched.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – Here we are in the continuation of a savage winter. No kidding. The ground is still frozen. Here’s the glacier in front of our house – left over by the snow plow.

Day 1,619 of one picture a day for the rest of my life.
