NEW YORK NEW YORK – I found myself in the East Village this afternoon with my Leica Monochrm and 50mm APO Summicron lens in hand. Not a bad day.
Day 2,909 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day seven years ago (day 352): Congregational Meeting House, New Milford CT. Shot with my Hasselblad medium format digital camera, one of the many, many cameras that I’ve owned.
Twenty years ago I shot a lot of parties, From 1997 the caption here would be “Party on, dude.”
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Where to start? I found myself today in the West Village in brilliant early evening light and got many interesting images (revisiting some sites that I’ve long been interested in). Then at cocktails for the Center for Fiction. I’ve had a lot of trouble editing.
Day 2449 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day Six years ago (day 258): Ecuador
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I spent the afternoon in dull light in The Village and ended up with very little. Poor light days are a serious problem in the one-photo-every-day profession.
Day 1,756 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day two years ago (day 1,026): Look up!..
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I walked around the Village this afternoon with my Alpa TC. There was wonderful Edward Hopper light – just enough haze to open up the shadows – the IQ 180 back’s color rendering actually got the light right. Here are a couple of examples:
On this day last year: Travel day. Yuck.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Here’s the dark underside of the photo-a-day experience: sometimes you just don’t feel like it. I found myself walking in the Village today, coming back from a meeting at the James Beard House. I just wasn’t seeing well. Here’s the best of a bad lot – a tree shadow on West 12th Street.
On this day one year ago: an IR image from Indio California.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – This evening I took a walk on West 12th Street. I arrived here just before sunset, catching the long shadows on a bar.
I’m writing this post on the evening of October 17 – the delay is a consequence of shooting a lot of images over the last few days (requiring a lot of time and effort to edit) and a power failure in Connecticut this weekend which left us in the dark and without computer power. One consequence of the delay is that the previous day’s image (October 12), an image that I don’t much care for, has been at the top of my blog for a long time. Memo to self: in the future I have to be much more disciplined about getting posts up following an image that I’m not proud of (the photo a day format insures that there will be some of these).
Anyway, the bar in the West Village shot with my Leica M9 and a 50 mm Summilux Asph. lens.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – Back home. From the East Village.
Leica M9 and 90mm Elmarit lens.
