NEW YORK NEW YORK – You may remember that a couple of weeks ago (on June 4) I lost my pocket camera, a Sony RX 100 II, and the images recorded on it with near disastrous results. This is the day that my only image was an out-of-focus stairway, one of the crap images of all time. Well the Sony’s replacement, a Sony RX 100 III, has arrived so I’ll be shooting with it for the next week or so to sort out what its capabilities are. Let’s hope that I can hang on to it for a while.
Day 1,712 of one picture every day for the rest of your life.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – We had 12 people for dinner tonight. The event was “auto-catered” – that is I cooked. In organizing this we forgot to count ourselves, which means there were actually 14. Our dining room table seats 12 so it was more than a little tight. I cooked racks of lamb sous vide and a medley of Spring vegetables and a fennel, feta and pomegranate salad. All of this meant this was a long, busy day with little time to concentrate on the visual. Just ok-minus imagery today.
Day 1,698 of a picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day four years ago (day 237): Party in Mustique.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I spent today at large in New York with my Leica Monochrom. My best effort was a six frame stitch of the Bank of America building across from Bryant Park – showing dramatically foreshortened perspective.

On this day last year (day 1,327): East 100th Street. Here is my rephotograph of Bruce Davidson’s 331 East 100th Street, along with Davidson’s original. Obviously a lot has changed in the intervening 50 years.
