NEW YORK, NEW YORK – I promise that I’m going to quit this. I mean the wide angle thing. Quit it real soon now. Maybe it’s becoming a crutch. Or worse. My name’s Woody and I’m a wide angle junkie. But later. Maybe. For now I had my Leica and my super wide lens in hand as I walked by the Guggenheim earlier today. If you’ve been following these pages closely you’ll know that the Guggenheim is the one icon that I’ve been struggling with. Well today with Mr. wide I caught it – the first image of the museum that I’m really happy with. Here it is (this is another one of those shot straight up images that could be oriented any of four ways, but I prefer this orientation):
On this day one year ago: Warren Congregational Church.

Scott – thanks for the encouragement. I’m actually finding that the work I do with very wide lenses is consistently more interesting than my other work.
I really love this composition. The world is a big place and sometimes a wide angle is the best way to capture it, so I hope you won’t drop the habit too soon.
