NEW YORK NEW YORK – Here we are, back in New York. Not a lot going on today. I spent an hour lurking on the plaza behind PJ Clarke’s waiting for good light.
Day 2392 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day four years ago (day 931): Bomb site. Actually a gas leak that was triggered on purpose. The original posting was in color.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – This is the official beginning of construction to add a couple of bedrooms to our house here, anticipating future family expansion. The slightly enlarged footprint of the house runs into our existing well, so we’re digging a new one. Today’s photos are taken with my Leica Monochrom and a 1958 Dual Range Summicron lens (three frames stitched in the case of the first image).

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Another day of shooting with my new little 28mm f2.8 lens. To get this one I hold the camera at arm’s length above my head to see over a fence and made three shots that I stitched. A typical day.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I’m experimenting with my relatively new Sony Alph 7rii. This is a “mirrorless” camera that packs a 42 meg full sized sensor into a relatively small package. It has excellent high ISO performance. With various adapters it works with just about every lens ever made from every manufacturer. It this point the only native lens that I have for it is the excellent Zeiss Batis 85mm. I did a lot of stitched images today, which results in very large files. Processing them on my Mac Pro desktop is fine, but they bring my iMac in Connecticut to its knees. The files require a fair amount of post-processing work to generate good gray scale images. Interesting times.
I’ve also thrown in an iPhone selfie.
Day 2216 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year (day 1851}: Late Fall I clearly suffer from Autumn fatigue at this time of year.
TOKYO – Another day of meetings and street scenes in Roppongi, Most images with my Leica Q, but for a visit to a construction site I relied on my iPhone. Once again I had trouble editing down to one image, with a half dozen potential keepers out of today’s work.

On this day last year (day 1796): Runner
WARREN CONNECTICUT – We took advantage of a long weekend up here to do some work on a site where we’re building a guest house (actually for our adult children). This is where it’s going to be. We’ll be documenting this as it progresses through construction.
