ANTIGUA – Our last day in our tropical paradise.
Day 1,990 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day five years ago (day 164): House. This is a different image from the one originally posted.
ANTIGUA – Here we go with a locally built barbecue pit. And of course Maria.
Day 1,989 of one photograph a day for the rest of my life.
On this day three years ago (day 893): Late spring. Really. On this very date three years ago tulip trees were loosing their flowers. We’ve barely dug out from snow drifts this year.
ANTIGUA – Well let’s see here. Hmmm . . . I’ve got a couple of beach themed images here today: a shell and a beach. Taken with my Leica Monochrome and 18mm lens.
Day 1,988 of one photograph each day for the rest of my life.
On this day five years ago (day 162): Post office. Pretty sinister image.
ANTIGUA – Here we are in the sand and palms. I got desperate today and shot a houseplant.
Day 1,987 of one photograph a day for the rest of my life.
On this day three years ago (day 890): Garuda. It turns out that March 25 just hasn’t been a great day for photographs in these past five years.
ANTIGUA – This continues to be a struggle. I got some light and shadows and a look up at a former sugar mill.
Day 1,986 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day two years ago (day 1,256): muddy road. Ugh on the climate here.
ANTIGUA – Passing by a gift shop here today we ran across a large format photo book about Antigua that was billed as “the ultimate coffee table book”. Not hardly. The book and the photographs were terrible. The photographer was struggling, unsuccessfully, against the fact that all these island paradises pretty much all look the same; when you’ve seen a palm tree on a white sandy beach with white puffy clouds in the background you’ve pretty much seen them all.
I share the author of the book’s pain. Today, and perhaps this week, I’ll be throwing images against the wall to see what sticks. You’ll see more people that is usually the case in the space. My Twitter feed has taught me that most of my images of people aren’t very popular, probably because I’m better and landscape than people. You’ll see some macro shots.
Day 1,985 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day five years ago (day 159): Chrysler Building. this is a personal favorite from the five year plus effort. It embodies the “New York as landscape” theme, one of the major theme in my work. The contrast with the Antigua images is breathtaking.
ANTIGUA – We’ve flown down here for a week with our entire family. Here’s Baby V on the beach.
Day 1,984 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day two years ago (day 1,254): Newsstand.
