NEW YORK NEW YORK – We went to the opening of Honor, Giovanna Randall’s new boutique located on Gansevoort Street in the meatpacking district. The men were noticeably better dressed than the usual grungy New York crowd. I asked Maria if this is a new (and welcome) trend – she responded “No, they’re just fashonistas.” Taken with my suitably retro Leica M9 and a vintage 50mm Dual Range Summicron. We walked on the High Line afterwords where I captured another image.

On this day one year ago: 289 Devonshire.

BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS – I managed a quick walk in the rain in downtown Boston before being sucked into daylong meetings. I captured this in the small park across from the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. It’s an Allium Giganteum, an ornamental onion. I recognized it because we have a lot of them in Warren – because of the savage winters the palette for perennial gardens is fairly limited.

On this day one year ago: Lipstick Building.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – A busy week with a trip to Boston for meetings, and work preparing for the trip. I did manage to walk our dog, Basil, and caught this dog’s eye view with my Leica M9 and a 24mm Summilux lens.

On this day last year: Airport in Mustique.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – It poured all day. These are actually pretty good conditions for intimate details of the Northeastern landscape. I captured this in our garden with my Alpa TC and a 35mm Schneider Digitar lens. That’s Basil, our Norwich Terrier, putting his nose in the picture.

On this day one year ago: Friends in Mustique.

WEST CORNWALL CONNECTICUT – I spent the morning exploring the Northwest corner of Connecticut with my Alpa TC and a Schneider 35mm Digitar. The light didn’t cooperate – it was one of the cloudy days with a high, bright sky. This from a bridge of of the road in West Cornwall that parallels the Housatonic River. I ended up leaving an empty camera back by the road. Someone picked it up and dropped it off at a local cafe, the Wandering Moose

NEW YORK NEW YORK – We had dinner at Ze Cafe, a neighborhood restaurant near my office, with Linn and Bill Jackson, friends of long standing. Here’s Bill with my Leica M9 and a 50mm Dual Range Summicron lens. Bill is older than the lens, but not a lot.

On this day one year ago: Blond stalks bride.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Another session trying to optimize the performa of my Hasselblad digital back on my Alpa TC technical camera. I shot the fireplace in our living room fussing with varius settings. I’ve included a crop to give an idea of what the image looks like printed large. The glass is mostly Venini
