WARREN CONNECTICUT – At last. A sunny day. We’re in full Spring flower here, which I’m of course presenting in black and white. This hopefully mitigates the picture post card effect that is this season’s biggest risk.

Day 1,669 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.

On this day one year ago (day 1,304): It rained last year.

WARREN CONNECTICUT and NEW YORK NEW YORK – A tale of good light and not so good light today. There were 15 minutes of profoundly beautiful light this afternoon in Connecticut. It was fleeting, as the sun dodged in an out of clouds. I shot what was at hand, a large tree, a mundane subject hereabout, with my Leica Luxochron 50mm lens wide open to blur the background. I ended up stitching three frames. Then later in the evening a dinner parter for a friend of long standing (not pictured here). I only shoot with available light which at dinners is often poor for portraiture. Anyway, here you go.

Day 1,655 of one photo every day for the rest of my life.

On this day four years ago (day 194): Pen Gala.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – We seem to be vying with Seattle for the foggiest place in the known universe. Yes. It’s foggy today in Connecticut. And four years ago it was foggy on April 26 on Park Avenue. There are lots of pictures of fog that I could have posted today (both current and historical): these were just the best looking ones. All shot with my Leica Monochrom – the perfect camera for the weather.

Day 1,654 of one photo a day for the rest of my life.

On this day four years ago (day 193): More fog. Shot in color but but for the taxis who would know.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – Roadside snow fencing.

Day 1,634 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.

On this day one year ago (day 1,269): New Preston Congregational Church. I’ve decided that I like the black and white version of this image more than the color version that I published last year.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – Hideous time of year in rural Northwestern Connecticut. Spring arrives late every year and this year it’s really late. But . . . heavy ground fog this morning provided some photo opportunities.

Day 1,633 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.

On this day three years ago (day 534): Big yellow bear. No kidding on this one. This is not photoshop trickery. Urs Fisher’s Big yellow teddy bear lamp was actually installed in the piazza in front of the Seagram building. Three frames stitched.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – I drove up to Connecticut this morning to fetch our dog and catch up with what’s going on here. Not much in the way of Spring. Last year at this time the forsythia were in full bloom. This year: a couple of sad little snow drops pushed through the snow on the ground.

Day 1,632 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.

On this day three years ago (day 536): 1930s again.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – What looks like snow here is actually a sheet of ice. I wandered around a bit, but not very far, and found this. I’m getting genuinely tired of using “winter” and “Warren” tags.

The second image is a screen shot of my Twitter page showing 10,000 followers, which I celebrated today.

This is day 1,613 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.

On this day four years ago (day 152): Cash for your Warhol. This image as originally published was in color (taken with a Leica M9). I’ve reworked it, translating to black and white, which I really prefer for this image. Click through on the link if your interested in the original version.
