WARREN CONNECTICUT – Further exploitation of a long weekend: a Sunday night dinner party with friends in Connecticut. I cooked pulled pork and ribs all day in my Green Egg. Just OK results but people loved it since they don’t have fixed expectations. Taken by candlelight with my Leica Monochrom and 50mm Noctilux lens.

On this day one year ago: Litchfield.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I spent the late afternoon (after a more or less full day at my day job) preparing for a dinner party. Cooking well is a bit of a curse – people come to expect it. The menu was all cook-in-advnace summer stuff: vitello tonato, salade a la russe, an onion tart and a tossed salad. Anyway, here are images with my Fuji X Pro.

On this day last year: Big Shadow.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – I spent the better part of a physically dreary day preparing for a dinner party here. Desultory photography. Food and photography are my two great loves and I don’t seem to be able to do them at the same time. I took some snapshots at the party with my Sony NEX-7. Here’s one of them.

On this day last lear: The view from Dewey Lebouf, the law firm that’s gone bust.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – We entertained some Dutch friends in our kitchen. Captured with my Ricoh.

Christmas party at the Knick. Hmmm . . . . We’re doing the same things every year. With the same people. They’re not getting any younger. I sense an issue here. Memo to self: hang with younger people at edgier venues.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – A friend had a birthday celebration at has house under construction in Warren. There was no heating so we build a large fire in the fireplace. There were no kitchen appliances so we grilled the food. the wine selection was over the top with a 2000 Ch. la Conseillante (one of my favorite Pomerols) and 1996 Pichon and Latour. Not bad. Pictures taken with my Leica M9 and 24mm Summicron lens.

Here’s my boring self, from my hourly series, at 10:03 PM on February 13, 1999. Again taken with an Arca Swiss 8×10. This is the only image in the series where I’m wearing glasses, which we will see as we display some of the variants on these pictures (probably in mid-November at the pace we are moving at) has odd consequences.
