NEW YORK NEW YORK – A truly splendid day for photography. I went out into the world with my Sony Nex-7 and 24mm Summicron. First to my final landscape class at ICP were I had a chance to shoot the class’s work. Then some quality outdoor urban time eating a sandwich in the plaza at 43rd Street and 6th Avenue. Then home to dress for dinner, in this case dress was white tie and tails, with some college classmates. Terrific chance to catch guys wearing penguin suits. Finally walking home at 10:30 I stopped to review the day’s images, and there were’t any. Wow. Colossal stupidity. Brobdingnagian blunder. I left home without a CF card in the camera. I captured nothing. The viewfinder had a warning but I didn’t notice it. This is the second time since I started this project that I’ve done this. Emphasizes the importance of basics. Load film in the camera. I always take an exposure before I leave home to check the camera, but not today.
What to do? Here I am on Madison Avenue at 10:30 with no picture for the day. Wait. My iPhone. It only has 10% charge left but that’s enough. I got one image through the window of EAT. That’s it, my image for the day.
On this day one year ago: Alum.
