Day 1,776 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day four years ago: Singita Grumeti Reserves Tanzania. Converted to black and white this year – an improved image.
Day 1,703 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day four years ago (day 242):
This is day 1,552 of my daily photo blog.
On this day last year: Fog. More of this stuff!
I joined some friends in going out to South Williamsburg for dinner at a restaurant called XiXa. Pronounced “shiksa” by the owner. No kidding. It was supposed to be a Southwestern dive but it turned out to be serious Asian-Mexican fusion at a very high level. A major upside surprise.
On this day one year ago: Sandy.
On this day last year: Pumpkins. Hmmm . . . this is a vegetables kind of time of year.
This long weekend of trying to photograph while in serious pain has exposed an issue. I plan on running this daily blog project into the grave. But my equipment of choice, Leica, requires too much clarity and focus to operate successfully when in serious pain or otherwise impaired. Today a shot Maria and Francesca with my Monochrom and Luxochron but it was the wrong setup for a portrait and the lighting while conceptually correct had a serious problem (my body blocked the light) that I didn’t notice as I made the shot.
If I’m going to continue to shoot at least an image every day I need a simpler setup to use at times when I’m sick. Figuring this out is a project for the next few months.
I will also need to do simplified posts during periods impairment. Maybe just a place name and an image.
Anyway, here’s an out of focus poorly conceived image from our spice shelf from today. It’s all that I’ve got.
On this day last year: Henry.
Taken with my iPhone at a point when I was concerned that I might not have another picture for the day.
On this day one year ago: La Pizza Fresca, my favorite pizza joint in New York.

Here’s a picture of the key actor in the Pizza Fresca drama:
