WARREN CONNECTICUT – Day two of meh. This is not, by the way, a typo – it’s webspeak for blah. I hope that you’re enjoying this dry spell more than I am. Taken with my Leica Monochrome which is in no way responsible for the actual content of the pictures it takes.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – This was a bored and out of touch day. Where do these things come from. A meh picture on an uninteresting Lexington Avenue.

NEW HAVEN CONNECTICUT – We drove down to New Haven for the day – Maria is speaking at a publishing symposium and I’m catching up on the culinary wonders of New Haven and the redone Yale Art Gallery. Food-wise I decided to go for historical significance – I had lunch at Louis’ Lunch, where the Hamburger sandwich was invented in the late 1890s – there seems to be some confusion over the date. It’s still in a parking lot on Crown Street, but its now a tourist destination. No kidding. A tour bus was standing in front of it when I arrived. There are exactly three places at the counter, one table that seats six (that seemed to be occupied permanently by locals) and three pew-like contraptions with tiny tables. The burgers are still cooked on unique vertical cookers and served on lightly toasted wonder bread. The meat quality was indifferent. Not a place to return to.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – Ferns captured with my Leica S2, which gives me a terrific opportunity to contrast the in and out of focus portions of the image.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – Another day out with the big guy, my Leica S2. From around our place in Warren, the second smallest town in Connecticut. Sorry for the dog.
