NEW YORK NEW YORK – We maintain a tradition of getting the family together for dinner on Sunday for a . . . Sunday family dinner. This evening we caught up with Laura and Alexander and of course Baby V, who is featured here today. Yes I know that I’ve promised no cute dogs and kids on this site, but we’ll all just have to live with an occasional exception. The elephant is a gift from India.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Self-explanitory? I don’t post many pictures of recognizable people here. Based on feedback on my Twitter feed (where I now have 66,000 followers) pictures of people, even moderately famous people, are of limited interest to my online audience. This may be because I’m better at places and things than people, but some objectively good images of people have been largely ignored online. Still . . . I post the images that I like whatever the subject. Just to make sure that I don’t loose your interest I’ve also included a second image for the day, a water tank in nice light.
Day 1,910 of one photograph a day for the rest of my life.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – I’m continuing to shoot with my antique Carl Zeiss 50mm lens, which stopped down is excellent for landscape and wide open has a lovely signature for portraits or just about anything else. Paraphrasing myself from a few years back my research indicates that the optical cell (the optical workings of the lens) was produced at the Carl Zeiss works in Jena, Germany in December 1945. So it actually is a Zeiss Jena 5cm f1.5 Sonnar. The lens cell was subsequently fitted to a Leica screw mount body by an unknown third party, probably in Germany, the UK or US, for sale in the UK or US. The distance scale is denominated in feet and Zeiss itself didn’t make any lenses in Leica mounts as Leica was a competitor (Zeiss and Leica were the equivalent of Nikon and Canon today). I can see why it would have been worth the trouble to convert this lens to a Leica mount: it is actually the equivalent of an modern lens in most respects at f4 and beyond – its performance is simply breathtaking and as noted above it has a lovely signature.
Day 1,899 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year (day 1,534): Cemetery, New Preston CT.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – Christmas day. We’re here with our children and grandchild, Baby V, who is now 14 months old. She’s walking and sort of talking. Today I’m shooting with my 1945 Carl Zeiss Sonar lens.
