NEW YORK NEW YORK – Busy day of meeting. I need a compact camera kit so I’ve strapped my 35mm Summicron v.IV onto my Leica Monochrom. This lens is called the “Bokeh king” because of its attractive out of focus images. Here you go with some roses in the garden in front of St Barts on Park Avenue. By the way I’ve gotten a day or two behind my usual schedule for posting because of a quirky internet connection here. I’m working on it. By the way in editing this post I decided to toss in a few more images from around St. Barts (the church, not the island) – what the hell, let’s live it up.

On this day last year: Blizzard. A reminder that things can get nasty around here this time of year. When I searched this site for “Blizzard” I found more than a dozen images.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Kind of a cool abstract visual, obviously on Lexington Avenue, taken with my little Sony. It took six or seven tries to get it to line up correctly.

On this day one year ago: Election day 2012. So last year’s images was a shot of the TV with the news that Obama had won a second term. Who admits now to voting for him? The truth is that I did. The symbolism of his Presidency is important, but in fact this has turned out to be a seriously crappy administration, the worst in my lifetime. My sources deeply inside the beltway tell me that the President has become totally isolated, no one actually knows who is in his inner circle at this point, and he is effectively a lame duck. This has been a very long year, and there are three more to go. What a disaster. Here you go:
NEW YORK NEW YORK – We went to Brooklyn these evening; made dinner out of a Ruben Sandwich at Junior’s; and saw Julie Taymor’s production of Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Shakespear space at BAM. Priceless. Earlier in the day while hunting for topics for this site at put my lens up against a subway sidewalk grate and shot away. All with my Leica Monochrom.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – Here’s a gallery of Fall color images. It’s Sunday so we’re going back to the city and by the time we’re back here next weekend the leaves will be gone. So with any luck you won’t have to put up with oranges, yellows and reds much longer. Fall is almost over. I promise to get back into my monochromatic groove once the weather turns ugly. All images with my Leica S2 medium format camera and a 70mm or 24mm lens. This thing is irresistible this time of year.
