WARREN CONNECTICUT – A dislocated weekend. For today and tomorrow we’ve ceded our house to our daughter, Francesca, for a bachelorette party that she’s throwing for a friend. Dangerous territory. So we’re camping out for the weekend at Doug and Judy Hamilton’s house because they’re on the way to Salt Lake via the California Zephyr (a train!). I spent today photographing Doug and Judy’s house with my Alpa Max and Phase One IQ 180 back. Then the bachelorettes descended on us for cocktails, which I captured in the waining light with my M9 and a 1954 50 mm Dual-Range Summicron lens. Here you go:

On this day last year: a picture of a camera. Not really that cool.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – How about this: a long weekend! In Warren. I hacked around a bit with my Leica M9 and 18 mm Super Elmar lens. Great combination. Here’s some salad on the hoof:

On this day last year: Alpa Max.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I stopped by Francesca’s apartment to help her put it back together after a paint job. Then a Yankees game against Texas. This was a sensational day for baseball (but the Yankees lost 10-6) – through a friend we had Legends seating which as you will see is about as good as it gets. Both images with my Leica M9 and 18mm Super Elmar lens.

On this day last year: really wide.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Another dinner at Pizza Fresca, so I found myself on foot in the rain on lower Park Avenue at dusk. Here’s some interesting light captured with my Leica M9 and 24mm Summilux lens.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I spent the day exploring the Lower East Side block by block, packing my Leica M9 and 24mm Summicron lens, and my M4 loaded with Neopan and a 50mm Dual-Range summicron. Editing has proven tough so pardon the number of images.

On this day one year ago: Rainy day.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – A slow cloudy day – I didn’t feel much like photography but I captured Basil shaking it off late in the day. Leica M9 and 50mm Noctilux lens.

On this day last year: On foot in Harlem. The Lenox Lounge and the Zebra room in the rear have become major destinations; the bullet holes in the facade are the residue of an earlier, less settled, time.
