NEW YORK NEW YORK – I went shopping for Valentines Day today and found this red crystal heart. I’ve given Maria other crystal hearts so it will be joining a growing collection.
Day 1,581 of a photo every day for the rest of my life.
On this day two years ago: Hopkins vineyard.
ANTIGUA – I took a walk on the beach with my Leica Monochrom and 50mm lens. The actual picture that presented itself was a very large cloud that demanded very wide angle, so I shot 12 overlapping frames and stitched them together. It actually worked. I shot very, very quickly because my experience suggests that the movement of the surf from shot to shot can make it very hard to stitch. Here it is. This is a very high resolution file that could be printed to billboard size.
Day 1,575 of one photo every day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year: Gumbo. Curtesy of Diana Fisketjon.
ANTIGUA – I packed a light tripod in my checked bag. I took it out in twilight this evening and set it up in the surf and took multiple long exposures, which I stacked in Photoshop to the following effect.
Day 1,572 of one picture daily for the rest of my life.
On this day last year: New Preston Falls. This was taken with my Leica Monochrom and Carl Zeiss Jena 5cm f1.5 lens from 1936.
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 – On the street with my Monochrom and 5cm Nikkor from the mid-1950s. Later at a dinner at the Union League Club for Robin Dresser who received the Maxwell Perkins Award with my Leica Monochrom and 35mm Summicron lens.
On this day last year: Subway steps.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – A day of getting very close with my iPhone – which does well as a macro camera. Today I shot light sources around the house. The stripes on the wall of the square one are an artifact of a 60 cycle flicker of the LED light source. This was a “make something out of nothing” day.
On this day last year: Mustique.
