BOSTON MASSACHUSETS – Day two here. Again I had a chance to get out in good light with my Leica Monochrom. Both images are taken with my 50mm “rigid” Summicron lens.
Day 2463 of one photo every day for the rest of my life.
On this day six years ago (day 272) I was also in Boston: Bus Station
BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS – On my way back home via South Station.
On this day six years ago (day 244): Boston
BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS – Here again shooting what used to be South Boston. Leica Monochrom and 1950s rigid Summicron.
Day 2406 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year (ay 2041): Spring
BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS – Here again and still shooting with legacy Carl Zeiss Jena lenses. Today I strapped the tiny 2.8 cm (28mm) f8.0 Tessar from 1937 onto my Sony 7rii. The best image of the day was a shadow selfie with security camera, but because of the difficulty of managing and shooting with this odd lens it was slightly out of focus. It’s ok at web resolution so I’ve presented here flaws and all. Also some images of the Boston Federal Reserve Bank in brutalist light. Did I mention that turning the Sony color images into something that looks like my work is a huge time sink.
Day 2281 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day six years ago (day 90): Poets Walk, Central Park. A common tourist shot for a good reason, reasonably well executed here. One of the commenters on Twitter on this image referred to The Third Man, the fabulous film noir from 1949. Indeed this film has been an important influence on my visual style. Ironic that I’m shooting now with lenses from that era.
BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS – I’m here for some meetings today so I grabbed a few images on the fly.
Day 2224 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day two years ago (day 1494): Foggy day in Connecticut
BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS – Decent light and ok images today. All shot with my Leica Monochrom. Sorry for the proliferation of images – I’ve had some difficulty editing today down.
Day 2098 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day four years ago (day 637): Moon over Manhattan
BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS – Here again. Interestingly, I was in Boston on this day five years ago when I shot the bus station an got a Cartier-Bresson collection of moving figures. Today the emphasis is on security cameras, which are everywhere; security cameras is one of the threads that I’m developing.
Day 2097 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day five years ago (day 271): Bus station
