NEW YORK NEW YORK – Here’s another look up. This one a straight up with a wide lens, into a high, bright sky – not the best conditions for landscape. Today is another rushed day so this is one of few images that I had to select from.
Day 1,667 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day one year ago (day 1,302): The Fountain at Lincoln Center taken with my iPhone.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I took my Leica Monochrom and Noctilux lens to a party at Antonio Monda’s with the following results. This thing is a handful.
Day 1,666 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year (day 1,301): Bathroom.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Spring crowds its way into my field of view.
Day 1,662 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day two years ago (day 932): Nocti.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – More today on the theme Spring color in black and white. It’s hard not to respond to nature strutting its stuff in this urban environment. Doing it in black and white makes it a little less mundane. Taken with my f.95 Noctilux lens and an neutral density filter so I could shoot wide open. This gives me very narrow depth of field and the Nocti’s characteristic “bokeh” – the character of the out of focus parts of the image made by it.
Day 1,659 of one picture a day for the rest of my life.
On this day two years ago (day 929): Maria reviews her notes.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Well, today is my birthday. I don’t like making a big deal of these anniversaries so we had a small family dinner out at Maialino, Danny Meyer’s displaced Roman Tratoria on Gramercy Park. I caught more tulips (i’ll soon get over this) in the rain, and then Alexander and Baby V at dinner. It was dark at Maialino so I brought my f.95 Noctilux and of course my Leica Monochrom.
Day 1,658 on one photo every day for the rest of my life.
On this day one year ago (day 1,293): Wiggly building.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – On the street (actually Lexington Avenue in the 40s) during the Manhattan golden hour. I’ve been pursuing the Chrysler Building for years. Here it is again. I found myself in Brooklyn this afternoon, at our daughter’s new apartment on Remsen Street. The view from her roof North.
Day 1,656 of one photo every day for the rest of my life.
On this day three years ago (day 560}: the view from Dewey Lebouf.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Tonight we went to a wedding shower for some old friends. I shot mostly with my Leica Monochrom and 35mm Summichron lens – one of no fewer than 6 that I have in this focal length. Typical obsessive behavior by a Leica shooter.
Day 1,653 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year: Spring breaks out in color.
