BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS – Dear diary: I had an heretofore unscheduled trip to Boston today. As you may know I’m not at my best on travel days so I’m stuck with “what the hell is this?” images taken on both ends of the trip. Good luck guessing on this one.
Day 1,971 of one photo every day for the rest of my life.

On this day two years ago (day 1,241): Lots of snow. Thankfully, last year’s image was pretty strong.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – It was too nasty today to venture outside. Have I mentioned that I’m getting tired of winter? So I spent the day in my home office and shot around the house with my Noctilux lens and a close-up attachment on my Leica T. Here are the results.
Day 1,964 of one photo every day for the rest of my life.

On this day five years ago (day 138): Salton Sea. This was color in the original post.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – It’s so bitterly cold today that I didn’t venture out of our apartment. I worked from home and shot around the house. I keep an inventory of these in the back of my mind for shut-in days, and wait for interesting light and shadows. The vase is from Spin in Shanghai – this is not the first time that I’ve photographed it.
Day 1,911 of a picture every day for the rest of my life.

On this day two years ago (day 1,182): Still in Santa Monica. The sunsets here can be spectacular.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I’ve had an iPhone 6S for a month or so – I bought it because of the improved camera but really haven’t used it much. This morning I shot around the house with an updated version of ProCamera, a camera app, to get to know it a bit better. It does a marvelous job; the app has a very good implementation of HDR, which helps solve many exposure problems. Here are some samples.
Day 1,894 of one photo a day for the rest of my life.

On this day last year (day 1,592): Fog. This image really pushes to fog concept pretty hard.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Another day shooting with my f.95 Noctilux lens. I’m using this lens mostly in daylight, so I keep a neutral density filter on it (in effect sunglasses) so I can shoot it wide open, which provides its special look. Today I did a still life at home with mirrors, one my favorites of this sort of thing in the past five years. I also shot a detail from our building, and a “lone person” in midtown.
Day 1,868 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.

On this day five years ago (day 41): Riverside Drive from the bottom.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – We’re here this weekend, unusually. We had some social commitments in New York which very much tied us up. I fooled around again with my Leica 280 mm R lens on my Leica T. Here’s a close up of Maria. Again, this combination works very well.
