NEW YORK NEW YORK – We’re rushing around preparing for a trip to Paris for a long Easter weekend. Not much time for photography so I shot a vase and flowers at home with my Noctilux f.95 lens, which has a distinctive signature when shot wide open. Here you go.
Day 1,994 of on photograph every day for the rest of my life.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – The Villard House on Madison Avenue was built in the late 1880s by McKim Mead & White for the president of the Northern Pacific Railroad. It was subsequently owned by Random House and the Catholic archdiocese of New York; it’s now the Palace Hotel with the attached Emery Roth designed ugly monolith.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I’m deliriously happy being back in New York where there is some visual content to life. I wandered around the Second Avenue Subway construction today, where the work now seems to be focused on relocating the water, power, septic and other infrastructure displaced by the subway line.

NEW YORK NEW YOUR – Visually it’s a relief to be back here. I spent the day reveling in mundane New York details. But of course this isn’t a tropical paradise, and winter temperatures continue. I had trouble selecting the best image today so I’m posting four, with apologies for stressing your bandwidth.
Day 1,991 of one photograph a day for the rest of my life.
On this day five years ago (day 165): Emmet Gowan. A photograph of Gowan’s daughter, Nancy, in Danville. I posted this picture as March 28, 2010 but according to the file’s exif data it’s actually March 29. The camera date could have been wrong – I’m not certain. As this project has developed I’ve become more careful about setting the camera to the correct date and time because with 60,000 or so images so far in this project it’s hopeless to keep track of dates if the exif data in the files isn’t correct.
ANTIGUA – Our last day in our tropical paradise.
Day 1,990 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day five years ago (day 164): House. This is a different image from the one originally posted.

On this day three years ago (day 893): Late spring. Really. On this very date three years ago tulip trees were loosing their flowers. We’ve barely dug out from snow drifts this year.
