NEW YORK NEW YORK – Fotocare had a sample Leica Monochrom so I borrowed it for an hour to give it a spin. Very interesting camera. It’s a Leica M9 with a grayscale only sensor.

One more film shot from Milan:
On this day last year: Public Library.

On this day last year: Native Roses.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – On the prowl with my Alpa TC and 47mm Schneider lens. Here’s a look at the Apex Trade School – a building that doesn’t seem to have gotten the e-mail about this neighborhood’s transformation. I’m guessing that this food cart is where the students get lunch.
On this day one year ago: Wandering Moose Cafe.
