WARREN CONNECTICUT – We spent the better part of the daylight hours today working on Christmas decorations. I’ve included three views of our Christmas tree process. There’s a link to a video below, which I don’t know how to actually include as a video on this site.
Day 1,892 of one photo every day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year (day 1,5270 Citibank.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – We found Holiday images today. We’ll try to push beyond this in the next couple of days, but this is what’s going on now.
Day 1,880 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day two years ago (day 1,150): More trees in fog. I’ve done a fair number of these. A thread? A nuisance?
WARREN CONNECTICUT – This is more like it. Children and grandchild have arrived so the pace has picked up. Basil the Norwich Terrier seems to be in the middle of everything, looking for food in the Christmas wrappings.
On this day last year: Luke’s junkyard.
WARREN AND ROXBURY CONNECTICUT – Another foggy, winter day shot with my Leica Monochrom and 135mm APO Telyt lens – two frames stitched. Later, a party with the same camera and Noctilux lens.
On this day last year: New old lens.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – Here’s where the week delay between shooting and posting hurts. Here’s a perfectly fine, if boring (tedious, really) Christmas image take four days before Christmas when it was timely and posted today, when it is stale. Oh well . . . I live and learn. Not a great day photo-wise.
On this day last year: Subway via an antique Zeiss Jena lens on my Monochrom:
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Holiday parties. Shot with my Leica Monochrom and f.95 Nocticron lens.
On this day one year ago: In memory of Newton.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I’m keeping up the thread on old lenses. I went out today with my 1959 Leica Dual-Range Summicron. I’ve shot this lens extensively in the past two years, but almost always at f5.6 and higher, a range where this lens behaves like a modern Leica lens (its character is very similar to the current 35mm Summicron). Today I resolved to shoot it at f2.0, where it has a lower contrast, more dreamy quality. Here is one from the street:
I also resolved to try the 1937 Carl Zeiss Sonnar on my Monochrom relying on close focus and guessing at longer focus distances. Here you go.
Here’s another with four frames stitched:
On this day one year ago: 86th Street.
