NEW YORK, NEW YORK – While walking on East 68th Street today I stumbled on a fashion shoot in progress – probably for a catalogue based on the wardrobe.:

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – This from the very early evening on Park Avenue. The sculpture is newly-installed. I don’t have any information on it but I’ll keep looking and revise this post accordingly. Of course the background is Mies van der Rohe’s Seagram Building, one of the icons that I stalk. The perspective is from the front door of the Racquet and Tennis Club.

Shot with a Hasselblad H3D 39 and an HC 100 lens. Three exposures stitched. This produces a very large file.
NEW PRESTON, CONNECTICUT – There are two Congregational Church buildings in New Preston. For most of the year the congregation meets in a lovely classical New England structure on a hill near the center of the village, which I photographed at sunrise on November 7, 2009. Here’s a link: New Preston Church During the summer months the congregation meets in a stone building a few miles away.

WASHINGTON CONNECTICUT – Boating on Lake Waramaug. The following is from the Wikipedia entry on Lake Waramaug:
“Although natural in origin, the surface elevation of the lake has been raised by a small concrete and masonry dam. The surface area of the lake is approximately 680 acres (2.8 km2). The lake has a maximum depth of 40 feet (12 m), an average depth of 22 feet (7 m), and contains approximately 4.8 billion gallons of water. The lake is fed by Sucker Brook (Lake Waramaug Brook), numerous small streams, and groundwater that enters through the lake bottom. Drainage from Waramaug Lake flows southward into the East Aspetuck River. . . . The lake is named after a chief of the Wyantenock tribe. Chief Waramaug and his followers summered in the area now covered by Lake Waramaug.”
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – We had dinner at Island, a restaurant near us on Madison Avenue, with Alexander (our son), Laura (his girlfriend) and Laura’s parents. This is a rare image of Maria.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – A boring day from a photographic standpoint. I was busy at the office and outside the light was dull. On the way home I shopped for groceries for a lunch on Saturday. Here is an image of the packed refrigerator. No one said that a photo every day would be easy.
