NEW YORK NEW YORK – I took a waling through Central Park today and then met my friend Lois Connor for lunch.
Day 1,807 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
Three years ago (day 711): 119 West 22nd Street. Originally in color. The black and white version below is actually more muscular.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – We’re finally getting over a very late spring here. One of my theories of photography is that there are very occasionally moments when the light is exquisite – when this happens you should stop and photograph whatever is at hand, and it will be beautiful. We had one of the moments today so I shot a beanpole behind our house. From earlier in the day Baby V reading the paper with her dad and a plant in a perennial border. I could decide which to post here so I posted all three.
Day 1,710 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day tow years ago (day 980): Scuol Switzerland. Edited from the color that I put up two years ago.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I ran into my friend Tom Barry in front of the Colony Club; I found myself on the sidewalk in front of the Ferrari store on Park Avenue, where a 1961 California Spyder (perhaps the most beautiful car ever made) was parked next to the curb; and I found myself on Sixth Avenue looking up. Hard to decide so here you go with all three, all taken with my Leica Monochrom and a 50mm Luxochron lens.
Day 1,701 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year (day 1,336): Big red thing. At least it was red last year. In light of my new commitment to all things black and white I’ve translated the image to grayscale for the look back. If you want to see it in color you can click through to the link to last year.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – We had 12 people for dinner tonight. The event was “auto-catered” – that is I cooked. In organizing this we forgot to count ourselves, which means there were actually 14. Our dining room table seats 12 so it was more than a little tight. I cooked racks of lamb sous vide and a medley of Spring vegetables and a fennel, feta and pomegranate salad. All of this meant this was a long, busy day with little time to concentrate on the visual. Just ok-minus imagery today.
Day 1,698 of a picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day four years ago (day 237): Party in Mustique.
NEW YORK NY and ANNISQUAM MA – We started this morning in meetings in midtown where I had a chance to catch a moment of transcendent light on Park Avenue. Followed by a long drive to Anniscquam and a pre-wedding party. What a day.
Day 1,695 of one photo every day for the rest of my life.
On this day three years ago (day 599): Chrysler again. Originally shot and posted in color. I recently reprocessed it as black and white which I prefer.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – It’s a weekend so this must be the country. Once again I’m fighting the temptation to picture-postcardize Spring.
Day 1,683 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
Here’s Victoria!
On this day three years ago (day 587): Sunbather.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – At last, some decent light. Passing storm clouds provided wonderful, dramatic light here this afternoon. We had some friends over in the evening so I’m providing a snapshot.
Day 1,682 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day three years ago (day 586): West 35th Street.
