WARREN CONNECTICUT – I made foggy day images today. I’ve done this before but that’s only because we have a lot of foggy days here. These are taken with my Leica S2 medium format camera with a 70mm lens. Three frames stitched in Photoshop.
Day 1,548 of this ongoing project to take one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day one year ago: grim. Another poor day.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I met Francesca, our daughter, at the Brasserie for breakfast and then spent the morning in the office. Here’s Francesca outside of the Brasserie and the Lava Lamp in my office, both taken with my Leica Monochrom and 75mm Summicron lens.
I could not decide which I preferred to I tweeted both this morning and I’ll let the responses to the tweets help me edit.
Day 1,547 of this ongoing project to take one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day one year ago: Zilch. Ugh. Some days it just doesn’t happen.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I spend a fair amount of time lurking around Citicorp Center and the Lipstick Building looking up because this part of Manhattan is visually rich. You get a lot of “look ups” from me from around here. Here’s another. Eight frames stitched taken with my Leica Monochrom and 75mm Summicron lens.
Day 1,546 of one photograph a day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year: Sunnylands. The Annenberg estate, Sunnylands, in Palm Desert.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Sometimes shooting through the window of a glass curtain wall building works. It takes a little bit of technique to avoid reflections and dirty spots on the glass but sometimes it can be done. Here’s a twofer: the Lipstick Building and the Chrysler Building. This is out the window of my office. Three frames stitched with my Leica Monchrom and 75mm Summicron lens. It’s an accident that I’ve posted two tall skinny pictures within a week of each other.
Day 1,545 of one photograph a day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year: Sunset in Santa Monica.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – We have an antique linen pillow case framed over our bed – it’s elaborately embroidered in white on white (actually creme on creme). Its very hard to read, let alone photograph. Today I shot it with an iPhone app called TurboScan that is meant to scan documents. TurboScan shoots in very high contrasts and actually rendered the text, “Sempre Uniti,” which in Italian means “Always United”, a declaration of love.
Day 1,544 of one photograph a day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year: Santa Monica Beach.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Alexander and I went to a Rangers game. Surprisingly sporting events are not really good venues for me to photograph. There’s not a lot of landscape at a hockey game. So I snapped off a six frame stitch of 30 Rockefeller Plaza on my way walking to Madison Square Garden. Taken with my Leica Monochrom and 75mm Summicron lens.
Day 1,543 of one photo a day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year: Haberdasher.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I shot this afternoon with a long lens. This usually doesn’t work for me – I see best with a wide angle in my hands. The lens is a 280mm Leica R with a Leica 2s tele-extender. These are out my window in the early evening. The last image required hand stacking two images to get shadow detail in the brick.
I’ve done a careful recount of total days on this project without a missed day. I’m going to start posting the running total daily. Here you go
Day 1,542 of one photo every day.
On this day one year ago: Santa Monica Pier.
