NEW YORK NEW YORK – An out my window shot of some repairs on a neighboring building and a look up.
Day 2044 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day two years ago (day 1314): Restaurant. Taken with my 1959 Dual-Range Summicron lens. Three frames stitched.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Equipment matters to me. I went out today with the classic Leica 28mm Summicron bolted onto my camera. I have an ambivalent relationship with this lens. It has good definition, manageable contrast, nice out-of-focus character and a slight tendency to flair, but somehow it doesn’t resonate with me. I brought back not much.
Day 2043 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year (day 1678): Cloud.
NEW YORK NEW YORK A busy and productive day on the images front. Nice late afternoon images in midtown after a foggy morning. I’m shooting security cameras, which are everywhere, when good opportunities show up. All images shot with a 90mm Summicron lens on my Leica Monochrom type 246.
Day 2042 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day five years ago (day 216): Jim and Kelly
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Continuing poking around alleys and some wonderful mottled light.
Day 2037 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year (day 1672): 432 Park Avenue. Before it was a monster.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I shot between the Upper East Side and Midtown today in sometimes ok light. I got a few Springtime “look ups” and some interesting alleys. The first image is three frames stitched; my hand-held stitching technique is improving: the near-far juxtaposition is difficult without a pano rig on a tripod.
Day 2034 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year (day 1669): Abandoned Substation
NEW YORK NEW YORK – A lot of images today. I bolted my f.95 50mm Noctilux lens onto to my Leica Monochrom today and headed out into the world shooting my usual stuff. This is a very special lens, remarkable actually. I used a three stop neutral density filer which permits shooting in daylight at f.95, which permits very selective focus and demonstrates this lens’s unique out of focus signature. I could decide which image I like best so I’ve posted four.
Day 2030 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day three years ago (day 934): World Trade Center II
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I find myself again on Ninth Avenue in lovely Spring light. This was shot with my Leica Monochrom and 50mm Summicron Asph. lens. Nine frames stitched in Photoshop.
Day 2023 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day two years ago (day 1293): Wiggly Building.
