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 – 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.
WARRN CONNECTICUT – Fog. Lots of it. It’s atmospheric and it simplifies composition, muting backgrounds. It’s a pretty common phenomenon here in Warren. We’re on a hilltop that seems to be a fog magnet. Taken with my Leica Monochrom and 35mm Summichron lens.
On this day one year ago: Yawn. A water tank. Whoopee. In New York. Imagine that. An example of why I shouldn’t shoot color. I find the mixed lighting here very unattractive.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I’ve shot the cityscape out of our dining room window thousands of times. Most often as a brick wall torture test of a lens or camera. But sometimes because the light is perfect or interesting or whatever. Today there was a lovely “Time and Again” moment when the snow muffled the sound of the city and buffed the visual edges down, simplifying the scene. This is with my Leica Monochrome and an 18mm Super Elmar M lens. The look that I’m getting with this camera reminds me of medium format film (such as the Rollei 2.8F, one of my favorite cameras ever).
On this day one year ago: foggy day. We seem to get a lot of these here.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – A truly crappy day. Out my window with a Leica Monochrom.
On this day last year: Faux percolated.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Egads, more fog. Will this ever end? Taken with my Leica S medium format camera out our living room window.
On this day last year: Belgique.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – More moody. This is one of my favorites of the year so for. I was driving along a local road; spotted the image; stopped and shot it with what was at hand (my Leica Monochrom and 21mm Super Elmar lens). Perspective was corrected in Lightroom.
On this day last year: Friday the 13th.
