NEW YORK, NEW YORK – Back in my comfort zone: midtown Manhattan on a clear, sunny morning shooting infrared. A half dozen of my out takes are better than anything else that I’ve done this week.
BROOKLYN, NEW YORK – I drove to Brooklyn Heights this afternoon to drop a print off with a friend and client. While there I retraced my steps from last week but this time shot infrared as is my style in capturing icons. (Shooting with a Leica M8.2 which is suffers from infrared sensitivity, but this is an advantage if you are shooting with an infrared filter.)
This is my two month anniversary of this blog.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – We had a lovely, clear late fall day today – unseasonably warm. Â This another installment in a long-term project: Â shooting iconic places. Â The challenge is to get past trite. Â This image is shot in infrared, which I use often in Manhattan. Â The image of 30 Rock may not be my best image of the day. Â One of the most difficult challenges in posting every day is self-editing under time pressure. Â It’s easy enough to find the three best, or the many non-keepers. Â But the final choice is difficult because it’s hard to sort out what the criteria are. Â For example, is there a narrative? Â Is it a problem to have churches on three consecutive days. Â Anyway, here’s 30 Rockefeller Plaza.

GOLD BEACH, OREGON – We spent October 23 here in Gold Beach, Oregon. The weather was terrible; the visibility on the beach was near zero. I spent a wet day in town taming infrared images of buildings. Â This is part of a long-term project that i’m working on: small Western towns photographed in the shadow of Edward Weston; the use of infrared technique creates as sense of abstraction and other worldliness.
