NEW YORK NEW YORK – On the subway platform with my Leica Monochrom and vintage 40mm Summicron-C lens.
Interesting. Here’s a compass rose on a Park Avenue island that I hadn’t noticed before. It makes the point the the Manhattan grid is tilted 29 degrees West, more or less.

From this day one year ago: Churches in Torrington.

We blessedly no longer have small children and no grandchildren yet, so toy shopping is not part of our routine. But here I am outside of FAO Schwartz on Fifth Avenue on Pearl Harbor Day, two weeks before Christmas, with my Leica Monochrom and 35mm Summicron Asph. lens.
On this day last year: the Italian Institute.
