WARREN CONNECTICUT – Another foggy day. This seems to be going on forever. Here I am talking about the weather, but remember that my photographic interests tend towards landscape and the weather really does play an important role out here. At least in Connecticut I can do moody, which is greatly in evidence. Here are two images with my new Leica S – the first with my 35mm Summarit lens and the second three frames stitched with my 120mm Maco lens. The files are big. My aging Apple desktop tower is straining under the load.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I’m looking for some of those winter days with lovely brilliant light to give my new Leica S medium format camera a chance to shine. No luck. More freezing rain and fog. So I put it on a tripod and shot out our window, here with a 120mm macro lens.

On this day last year: Staples. January 11 is clearly another undistinguished date on my calendar.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – An unseasonably warm, foggy day. This kind of weather rubs me against the grain. I’m an optimist. My glass is never far from full. I like sunny days with dark blue skies and puffy white clouds. None of that today. Here we are in the fog. Taken with my Leica Monochrom and a vintage 50mm Summicron lens, three frames stitched. By the way I’ve temporarily disabled my star rating system and my Facebook integration because they both play badly with a new version of WordPress that we installed a few days ago. We;ll get it sorted out eventually.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – Still photographing fall color without color. There was a moment of sensational light at sunrise. Captured with my Leica Monochrom and 50-year old Dual Range Suumicron (18mm Super Elmar in the case of the third image). These are some of the best images that I’ve gotten so far from the Monochrom.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – A rainy foggy day. I’ve done quite a few “distant barely discernible trees in the fog” but that pretty much defines the landscape today. So I took the Alpa closer to home. This with my Alpa TC handheld at knee level, with my new Rodenstock 32mm lens. I was skeptical when I shot it be seeing it here I kind of like it.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – It was rainy and foggy today. The fog provides an opportunity to isolate elements of the landscape that might otherwise be lost in clutter. Here are three trees at the top of Tanner Hill Road in Warren. Taken with my Alpa TC and 72mm Schneider XL. Three frames stitched. I was unfortunately in flip flops (I was just on my way to buy a paper when I saw this) and there was poison ivy underfoot.
