NEW YORK, NEW YORK – Back from Connecticut and a rainy weekend.  I had spent the weekend putting a relatively new (to me) camera through its paces, a Nikon D700.  I plan on using the D700 primarily for available light photograph in poor light, so I’ve put it back in its bag to wait for the next party, wedding, dinner or whatever.  For street use I’m back to my trusty Leica M9, which I prefer as long as there’s enough light to manually focus.  This picks up on my “Look up – don’t worry of it makes you look like a tourist” theme.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – This is going to be a rough week in the photo-a-day department.  My day job is invading this space.  I’ve got round the clock meetings Tuesday through Friday and heavy preparation for them on Monday.  I won’t have much time for posts, so they will be delayed for a few days.  Mostly work dinners that I can’t photograph.  I managed to walk a couple of blocks in the morning on Lexington Avenue I got this.
