NEW YORK, NEW YORK – My meetings are at Park Avenue and 53rd Street so I managed to commune with my old friend Hello Kitty for a few minutes.  You will remember from previous posts that  Hello Kitty is Tom Sach’s statue in the sculpture garden at Lever House.  See  March 19 blog entry and April 20 blog entry.  There may be enough going on at Lever House to make a project out of it.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – From a sunset walk on the High Line.  Here’s a link for more information about the High Line: Link to High Line site.  Leica M9 and 90mm Elmarit. I’ve changed the image on this page after having second thoughts on the selection of the May 6 image.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – Once again I’m stalking the Chrysler Building. Â This time from behind the UN Secretariat Building, in color, shooting with medium format.
HARWINTON, CONNECTICUT – I drove to Harwinton today to visit the Connecticut DEP office there, to pick up a boat license. Â Like most other Litchfield County towns Hawinton has a Congregational Church on a small green – the congregation dates to 1738. Â The 1935 “Connecticut Guide” says this about Hawrinton
In Harwinton Village, the Congregational Church was built in 1806. The design is simple but pleasing, with the heavily molded cornice of pediment and roof. The 3 front doorways have rounded fanlights and pedimented hoods. Above the central doorway is a Palladian window, repeated in the tower. On the north of the Church is the stone Memorial Chapel, beautiful but incongruous, given by Collis P. Huntington, the financier of the Southern Pacific R. R., in memory of his mother. Huntington was born in the town in1821, and worked on a farm here until the age of 14, when he went to New York to seek his fortune.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – Congregation Shaaray Tefila (Hebrew for Gates of Prayer) at Second Avenue and 79th Street. Â The current sanctuary of this congregation, which was organized in 1859, was dedicated in 1959. Â It was converted from a Trans-Lux movie theater. Â I’ve taken the liberty of posting the image twice – once in color and once in gray scale.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – Once again stalking the Chrysler Building.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – Back in Manhattan with my Leica.  This is more like it.  This image was stitched from three  frames and the perspective corrected in Photoshop.  It is very much emblematic of the women in my life.
