NEW YORK NEW YORK – A walk on the far West Side with my Leica Monochrom and my 50mm APO Summicron lens.
Day 2,778 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.

Tag: 11th Avenue
NEW YORK NEW YORK – This morning I found myself on 11th Avenue with my Leica S medium format camera and a 35mm lens. I’ve been shooting this thing on and off for two weeks without changing the battery – it’s a real camel in terms of battery life. Here’s a reflection, three frames stitched in Photoshop.
On this day one year ago: Lever House.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I shot my Eleventh Avenue project today. Based on the yesterday’s scouting I started at 11:00 and worked through 3:30, taking a break for lunch during the period when the sun was directly overhead. I shot with my Alpa Max, 48mm Schneider/ALPA Apo-Helvetar (the Swiss seem to prefer long names for their lenses) and Phase One IQ 180 back 28 exposures, two per block on both sides of the street, from 40th Street to 47th Street. Here’s a sample. The approach is dead frontal documentation.
On this day last year: Rain.
