WARREN CONNECTICUT – We’re here for the three day Presidnts Day weekend, pretty much snowed in. Very high winds and low temperatures bring with wind chill down to -20 degrees F. Basil the Norwich Terrier refuses to step out of the house so we have to make an accommodation for him in the garage. There is a landscape out there, but photographing it is an unappealing process. I did nonetheless manage a few images of windswept landscape.

Day 1,949 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.

On this day five years ago (day 123): Icy sunrise. We seem to have a theme here in rural northwestern Connecticut in mid-February.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Back on the street with my Leica Monochrom on a very, very cold day. I lean toward a single lens, a 50mm Leica Summicorn Asph., which I refer to as a Luxochron. Most images are wider – I do this by stitching multiple images:The tennis court bubble and the underside of the 59th Street Bridge is six frames stitched in Photoshop.

Day 1,943 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.

On this day four years ago (day 482): Film! I shot this four years ago with a medium format rig shooting Ilford XP-2 “chromogenic” film. This illustrates the good and the bad of film. The bad: the white line to the right of Citicorp Center is actually a scratch on the negative – it arrived back from processing in that condition. It’s very odd that it’s perfectly parallel to the building – it almost looks like an act of vandalism. In subsequent versions of this image I’ve edited the line out.

RALEIGH NORTH CAROLINA – I’m here on business so get prepared for a rough patch in the daily photo scene. Traveling with my Leica Monochrom, but shooting a lot between meetings with my iPhone.

Day 1,915 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.

On this day five years ago (day 87): Morris Connecticut.
