MANHATTAN – Out today with my black and white modified Sony camera and a good selection of lenses in and near Bryant Park, behind the 42nd Street Library. The place rocks.

MANAHTTAN – I was really distracted today by my day job so I took exactly one picture behind the building we live in here with my black and white adapted Sony camera and the very good 18-35mm Sony zoom lens.

BOSTON MASSACHUSETS – Here for my usual monthly meetings. These long days give me good light in the early morning. Shot with my black and white modified Sony and a Leica 50mm Summicron Asp. lens.

MANHATTAN – I’m now shooting regularly with my Sony A7rii that has been converted to black and white imaging by removing its Bayer filter. This plus some specialized image processing effectively double the resolution of this camera to 84 megs -far into medium format land. This only works with the very best lenses – lenses that perform well at 42 megs resolution don’t necessarily look great with resolution doubled. The Zeiss 25mm Batis lens that I’m shooting with today is more than up to the task. More on these topics as I develop more experience with this camera.

COLLEGE POINT NEW YORK – College point is actually a neighborhood in Queens. It’s out beyond the end of the subway system. It’s a finger of land tucked between the Whitestone Bridge and flushing Bay; Laguardia Airport is just across Flushing Bay. It should have grand exposures to the bay and the East River but large industrial complexes and condo developments generally cut off access to the water. Anyway we had good light so this is what it looks like.

MANHATTAN – I walked from home down to the Standard Hotel on the Highline to attend a book party for our old friend Ken Auletta. Shot with my Sony A7rii converted to black and white only.

On this date three years ago (day 2058 of one photo every day): Advertising in Little Egypt
MANHATTAN – Shooting wide with my Sony A7Riii and lovely Zeiss 25mm lens. Not much going on today in my life. The phenomenal Sony sensor let me recover highlights in this image from outside my office – highlights that would have been totally blown in most other cameras that I’ve ever owned.
Day 3156 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
