WARREN CONNECTICUT – More trees at our place in Connecticut – at least they aren’t birches. In the warm light at sunrise there’s a hint of fall color – a trailer for coming attractions. I’ve been shooting with my Leica Monochrom recently but went out this morning with my Leica M9 and 90mm Elmarit lens. I struggled with this lens yesterday but got better results today. Maybe it just takes practice. I focused my attention on a park-like area to the West of our house – an area that we created by mowing the underbrush in a stand of major maples and oaks. This is what they looked like in black and white and color:

WARREN CONNECTICUT – Not a very productive day on the photo front. I’m not sure why this happens, but it seems to be hard to sustain interesting work with complete consistency on a day in and day out basis. Today I put my 90mm Elmarit on my Leica Monochrom and carried it through my day.

It may be that I just don’t resonate with this focal length. I tend to do best shooting wide. Anyway, I settled for some birches:

NEW YORK NEW YORK – At dinner with friends. Kimball Chen was in the unfortunate position of sitting directly opposite me while I was packing my Leica Monochrom and 50mm Noctilux lens.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Back in New York, still shooting with my Monchrom and Dual Range Summicron. It’s hard to find tenderloin-style sleeze in Manhattan at this point – porn shops have been zoned and priced out of the real estate market. There is, however, still a pocket of porn shops around the Port Authority Bus Terminal.

BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS – I’m accused of having a second family here. My business reliably takes me to Boston for a few days each month. I’m continuing to explore my Leica Monochrom and 1957 Dual Range Summicron (which has a lovely fingerprint on the Monochrom).
