WARREN CONNECTICUT – Marvelous light this morning with sun and fog together here. I caught this on my way to buy the paper. It’s good enough that I’m using a slightly edited version as a banner. Taken with my Leica Monochrom and Luxochrom lens.
On this day last year: Oldest Protestant Church in the New World.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – Cocktails with our friends Doug and Judy Hamilton and Pilobolus, a dance company. All taken with my Leica Monochrom and Luxochron lens.
On this day last year: Bermuda.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – Look’s like I’m officially giving the Luxochron a rest (remember “Luxochron” is my name for my Leica 50mm Summichron Asph. lens). Slightly wider today with my 35mm Summilux Asph. lens on my Leica M. I’m shooting with a three stop neutral density filter so I can shoot wide open (at f1.4) in daylight, which permits throwing backgrounds way out of focus but demands very accurate focus of the main subject. Here you go:
On this day last year: Early days with the Monochrom. It’s hard to believe that my Leica Monochrom is just a year old. It was a life changer.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – A perfect early Autumn day. Visually I thrive in sunlight. Here we go with my Leica M and a 35mm Summilux Asph. lens. I’m taking a short break from the Luxochron.
On this day last year: Happy Birthday Maria.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – More shooting around our house here. This time in interesting late light that I actually kept in color. Shot with my Leica M and Luxochrom lens.
On this day one year ago: Wedding.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – Day four in a long weekend of rain and fog. And of course the toothache from hell. I’m abusing Tylenol to be able take pictures at all. My liver hates me.
I’ve moved to color today – rain and fog can actually yield lovely saturated hues. I’ve swapped my Leica Monochrom for a Leica M. Still shooting through the Luxochron: the 50mm APO Summichron Asph. Somehow I made a couple of images. I didn’t go very far.
On this day one year ago: On board the Chris Craft.
NEW PRESTON CONNECTICUT – I stopped the New Preston Congregational Church on my Sunday morning newspaper run. This is not a new subject for me but this time I took in some details with my Leica S2 medium format camera. On reflection the angel is not a great work of art – the face lacks the plasticity that a talented sculptor can provide – but hey, who doesn’t like an angel.
On this year last year: Flags project.
