NEW YORK NEW YORK – I’m really liking the results that I’m getting from the Noctilux and the LeiCA M9. Life is good. I took a walk in the financial district in the morning, went to a rehearsal of the James Beard Foundation awards in the afternoon, and to the awards and a gala in the evening. I’m posting a mini-gallery of the day.
On this day one year ago: This again. I’m so embarrassed. I took the same picture on April 15 this year. Spring is running three weeks early in 2012.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – My Birthday. I spent four or five hours around midday in Central Park in the Ramble. This is an area in the park that is essentially wild (not really – it was planted to simulate wild by Olmsted and Vaux). My landscape class shot in this area last week – I had to miss the session so this is my catch up work. I found the light harsh and the area oppressive and sinister – perhaps as a result of its reputation for being dangerous earned in the 1970s and 1980s. Images are taken with my Alpa TC and Phase One IQ 180 back.
On this day last year: Warren Spring.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Another gray unappealing day. Where do these thing come from? I really take better pictures in nice light. Anyway, I shot in the 23rd Street area for a bit today and came up with this, shooting with my Sony NEX-7 and Leica 24mm Summilux. In editing images today i started an experiment with the “soft proofing” feature in Lightroom, new to the relatively recent version 4.0. It predicts what your picture will look like in print or on the web, overcoming a slight bias toward printing too task and flat if you don’t soft proof.
On this day one year ago: a pretty neat shot.
