NEW YORK NEW YORK – Can you tell that I’m distracted from photography. Hanging on by my fingernails here in photo-a-day land. I caught this odd sign with my iPhone.
On this day one year ago: a pretty commonplace view of the Citicorp building. I liked this a year ago but it seems a bit pedestrian today.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – From the lobby of 919 Third Avenue with my Leica M, converted to black and white after the fact.
On this day one year ago: Takeout.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – More shooting around our house here. This time in interesting late light that I actually kept in color. Shot with my Leica M and Luxochrom lens.
On this day one year ago: Wedding.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – September is one of the busiest months of the year for me professionally. I squeezed a shot of nice light on the interior of our house here with my Leica M and Luxochron lens. Converted to black and white in Lightroom with a preset that I’ve developed for the purpose.
On this day one year ago: Foot.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I tried something different today: shooting in color. I took my Leica M and Luxochron lens out for a walk around Manhattan. (“Luxochron”, by the way, is my name for my Leica 50mm Summicroh Asph. lens, which is said to be the most perfectly corrected normal lens for any camera ever and is priced accordingly.) But guess what? Most of the images that I found today look better in black and white so I converted them. Here’s an example with some high key lighting.
On this day last year: John Chamberlain sculpture.
New York New York – housebound today preparing for client meetings. This is out the window into our building’s courtyard with my Leica Monochrom and Luxochron. Two frames stitched.
On this day one year ago: Ladderman.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – This is officially a recovery day from the tooth crisis. Walking down Lexington Avenue I tripped on a bit of construction on the sidewalk and fell flat on my face. Still unsteady from having the tooth from hell dug out of my jaw. My Leica M ended up with a minor ding but there appears to be no damage. This is the first day out in several days. Inspiration is thin on the ground but at leas here’s picture of the Frick Museum, three frames stitched with my Leica Monochrom. I’m hopeful that we’ll begin to see some ok photographs. This is not much of an image but at least I’m out of the house shooting.
On this day last year: Laura.
