NEW YORK NEW YORK – Not much going on today visually in my life. Walking home from the office I worked on generating some abstractions from Bloomingdale’s facade. Taken with my Leica Monochrom and 1945 50mm f1.5 Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar lens. The out of focus points of light are rendered by the Sonnar as little doughnuts. I’m not certain why.
On this day last year: I can shoot in color. I just don’t do it that often.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – A truly crappy day. Out my window with a Leica Monochrom.
On this day last year: Faux percolated.
NEW YORK NEW YORK = Remember my periodic poker game? It was tonight. Here are some images of friends at the game taken with my Leica Monochrom and f.95 Leica Noctilux.
On this day one year ago: Tanner’s Farm.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – We had dinner with some friends at Pizza Fresca, a local pizza joint in the ’20s with a truly remarkable wine list. Snapshot with my Leica Monochrom and 50mm f.95 Noctilux lens.
On this day last year: Beach club.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – This morning I found myself on 11th Avenue with my Leica S medium format camera and a 35mm lens. I’ve been shooting this thing on and off for two weeks without changing the battery – it’s a real camel in terms of battery life. Here’s a reflection, three frames stitched in Photoshop.
On this day one year ago: Lever House.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – It’s St. Valentine’s Day. I walked across Central Park to shop for valentines gifts, carrying my Leica Monochrome and a 24mm Leica Summilux lens. I put a .9 neutral density filter on the lens permitting it to shoot in daylight wide open at f1.4, giving very narrow depth of field, but requiring exacting technique. Three examples.
On this day one year ago: Painting.
NEW YORK NEW YORK A sculpture installation at Lever House shot with my Leica Monochrom and 18mm Super Elmar lens.
On this day last year: Reflection.
