On this day one year ago: Mirror.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – We’ve instituted a weekly (well at least several times a month) “family dinner” on Sunday evening, so Laura and Alexander came over. Francesca was already here because she’s moved in while she studies for the bar exam in just over two weeks. I gave my Leica gear a well-deserved rest (I’m taking my M9 to Nippon Photo Clinic for adjustments next week) and shot with my Fuji xpro-1. Here’s Alexander at dinner.
On this day last year: Grand Central Terminal. Another lone figure shot. This one in a crowd. A more defiant stance than usual.
NEW YORK NEW YORK = Alexander’s birthday. We made the pilgrimage to Yankee Stadium for a game with the Minnesota Twins. There’s no better experience on a balmy summer evening. It’s not summer but the weather has been unseasonably warm so the evening was in fact balmy. Here’s Yankee Stadium as landscape taken with my iPhone plus a couple taken by Francesca (guest photographer) with the Hipstamatic app.
On this day one year ago: Hongqiao rail station.
