WINGDALE NEW YORK – I drove over here today to drop Alexander off at the train station. This little hamlet is the home of the Harlem Valley Psychiatric Center, a vast property built by the State for the treatment of the mentally ill, which was closed in 1994. It’s genuinely spooky.

MANHATTAN – My hat inventory needs some help – I loose hats and summer Panama’s get tatty after a few years of use. So . . . I went to JJ Hat Center on lower Fifth Avenue to stock up. Since I don’t do selfies you’ll have to guess at what i bought.

On this date three years ago (day 2087 of one photo every day): Capri, Marina Piccola – today was not my first time in Capri.
MANHATTAN – I stopped by B&H today to check out what’s going on there and to return a defective lens. Really good area to shoot in.

On this day last year (day 2778 of one photo every day): Power plant on 11th Avenue. I reprocessed this image.

Day 3142 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this date last year (day 2777 of one photo every day): Bokeh again. Shot last year with a Leica Q, a camera that I owned briefly and didn’t care for. It has a fixed 28mm lens, actually an excellent lens, but a focal length that I don’t care for because it’s the equivalent of an iPhone perspective and is accordingly “common”. As you will see the lens’s bokeh is slightly edgy.
MANHATTAN – An iPhone image from Sixth Avenue and 44th Street. The camera that you have with you is the best camera. This is the ICP’s learning center.
Day 3137 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this date two years ago (day 2407): Boston
