NEW YORK NEW YORK – Today I actually took exactly one picture today: in an alley on 93rd Street. I’ve got a few other alley shots from earlier dates so maybe there is a thread that I should pursue. Or maybe not. Reviewing the past almost five years of images I’ve learned that August 1 isn’t a terrific day for me in terms of photography.
Day 1,751 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
Alley
NEW YORK NEW YORK – While waiting on the 53rd Street Station for the E train (which is depressingly far under ground) I heard the sound of “Amazing Grace” being played on a bagpipe. I walked the length of the platform to investigate and found, rather than a ruddy Scot campaigning for succession, a wan, very sick-looking, young man. Here he is.
Day 1,751 on one picture every day for the rest of my life.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – A pedestrian “look up” and some pedestrian pedestrians. I’m cycling through lens choices for my Leica Monochrom, preparing myself mentally for a trip to Basque country in Spain in a week or so.

On this day three years ago (day 653): Dhow, Lamu. Taken with my Phase One IQ 180 (subsequently sold because I get better results overall with my Leica Monochrom).
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Not a whole lot going on here to day. I hit the street with my camera and tried to generate some excitement, without much success.

Store
On this day four three years ago (day 652): Lamu, converted from the original to black and white. Lamu was relatively safe three years ago but it’s in a bad neighborhood (15 miles or so from Somalia). Really a shame.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – We had a lovely, foggy morning that lent itself to black and white photography. I had a lot of trouble editing so I’m going to bother you with four images today.
