WARREN CONNECTICUT – This is not another cheap shot of Basil the Norfolk Terrier. It’s actually a picture of Francesca. She’s the out of focus one in the back with the top of her head cut off.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Shooting around the house with my Leica S. I’ve sworn never to post a cute pet. But here’s Basil the Norwich Terrier with my Leica S medium format camera. Sorry. Really. But things are tough out here in photo-a-day space and sometimes you have to take what you can get.
NO DOGS
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I enforce a “no pets or cute kids” rule. Really. Well I’m making a sort of exception today for an image that started out as a picture of a standing vase from Spin in Shanghai in interesting light but ended up as a picture of Basil the Norwich Terrier. He’s a pet for sure so the picture breaks the rule. I’ve added a two frame stitch from the scuzzy stretch of Broadway in the 20s in case you’re a stickler and don’t want to look at a transgressive dog image. Your choice. Both taken with my Leica Monochrom; Basil with a 35mm Summilux FLE lens and the building with a 50mm Summilux, which is just back from a cleaning and adjustment from Nippon Photo Clinic.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – A slow cloudy day – I didn’t feel much like photography but I captured Basil shaking it off late in the day. Leica M9 and 50mm Noctilux lens.
Basil shakes it off
On this day last year: On foot in Harlem. The Lenox Lounge and the Zebra room in the rear have become major destinations; the bullet holes in the facade are the residue of an earlier, less settled, time.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I spent most of today at Harvard Business School, where the turn-around of the James Beard Foundation was discussed by a class as a case. Very, very bright kids, who over an hour and a half identified most of the issues that we actually dealt with and thoroughly debated all sides. Very interesting – these students are well-qualified to take on the world and all of its problems. We were rushed the whole day with not many opportunities for photography. I captured this at home after I got back from Boston, as I was leaving for dinner. Basil looking irritated. Taken with my Sony Nex-7 and 24mm Leica Summilux lens. The photograph on the wall is by Lalla Essaydi.
The dog scolds me for leaving
