Bedtween MUSTIQUE and BEQUIA – We chartered a powerboat for the day to make the trip to Bequia and to do some snorkeling. My pictures from Bequia are uninspiring so I’m posting some portraits from the boat ride. I did come away from Bequia with on treasure, though: a tee shirt from the Whaleboner Bar.
Taken with my Leica Monochrom and 35mm Summilux lens.
On this day last year: Quartoze-bis.
MUSTIQUE – This private island is our favorite spot in the Caribbean. The only downside is the endless voyage here – it’s a long ways south (which means that the weather is reliable) and a semi-scheduled small plane hop from Barbados. The last of today’s three shots (sorry – I’m having trouble focusing on editing) is at the iconic Basil’s Bar. Iconic in the sense that it lends a “Cheeseburger in Paradise” vibe to an otherwise staid bastion of . . . well yo fill in the blank.
On this day one year ago: decommissioned church.
BETWEEN NEW YORK and BARBADOS – More insides of airplanes. I seem to spend a lot of my life supporting the air transportation system. We are on our way to Barbados, where we will connect to a small plane for Mustique. Here’s Maria in repose (a rare sight) captured with my iPhone.
On this day last year: Weird science from Paula Hays.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Francesca had a birthday party at Frankies Spuntino in Brooklyn. Sensational evening. Here are two images taken with my Leica Monochrom and Noctilux lens, and one with my iPhone.
On this day last year: Fairway.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I spent the morning working at my day job and got away in the afternoon in time to stand in line to vote. We had some family and friends over to watch the returns. By 11:00 PM I still hadn’t gotten my picture, so i finally shot the television with Leica Monochrom and 35mm Summilux lens.
On this day one year ago: Not much of an image.
NEW YOKR NEW YORK – A good day with my camera. We had dinner with Patrizia Chen and some friends of hers. I’m getting even better results from my Leica now that I have glasses that correct my astigmatism. Before Patrizia’s dnner I stopped at Ladurée, an outpost on Madison Avenue of the French cathedral of macaroons. All images taken with my Leica Monochrom and 35mm Summilux lens.
On this day last year: Ceiling. I was struggling here.
KENT AND WARREN CONNECTICUT – We’re showing our age: Maria and I went to a birding class in Kent this morning. We took a walk with the group behind the Kent town hall. Interestingly there were fewer birds that normal (our guide reported) because they had gone to ground feeling the low pressure as Sandy approached. Later in the day I experimented at bit with high ISO landscapes – shooting at ISO 5000 and f16 to maximize depth of field. Both images taken with my Leica Monochrom and 28mm Summicron lens.
On this day last year: S. Feldman Hardware.
