NEW YORK NEW YORK – This is a visually interesting day. Very clear and extremely cold, after a rain last night, which means there is ice in unexpected places. Here’s Citigroup through a sheet of ice.
Day 1,610 of one picture a day for the rest of my life.
On this day one year ago (day 1,245): Beantown.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – I’m writing this in New York where we live most of the time. The images from February 15 and 16 were taken in Connecticut where we have a weekend house. I edited the February 15 and 16 images in Connecticut and somehow only brought a portion of them back to New York. This may not be the best image of the day. I’ll be back in Connecticut next weekend and will update this post if I find something better. This photo-a-day thing is very demanding in terms of having a set and consistent workflow. I’ve edited this entry to include the first two images below. I was separated from these files when I first prepared this post.
Day 1,584 of one picture a day for the rest of my life.
On this day four years ago: Field in Warren Connecticut.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – Forgive me. I went out on snowshoes to photograph today but it was cold. Really cold. My fingers were sufficiently cold despite my gloves that I couldn’t really operate Leica Monochrom. I came back after 20 minutes or so and only got a few images. Here we go with two frames stitched.
Day 1,563 of my daily photo blog.
On this day two years ago: Magic light in Naples Florida.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – Well now . . . comparing this year’s picture with last year’s there seems to be a theme. It’s cold here in Warren. Especially in the winter. There’s ice everywhere. This year I shot it with my Monochrom and 24mm Summilux lens. I decided to include two of them. I have more pictures of ice available if you’re curious about the topic.
On this day last year: Winter in Connecticut. Taken with my Leica Monochrom and a 1945 vintage Carl Zeiss Jena f1.5 Sonnar lens.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – The calendar says March 24. The weather gods apparently don’t have a calendar. It’s supposed to be Spring, but there’s no sign of it. Connecticut: the new North Dakota. I’m packing my medium format Leica S today, wearing a 120mm lens (a modest telephoto in this format). Here’s an image of ice on our road.
On this day last year: Garuda.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – A gray day with freezing rain. I drove to the Washington Club beach on Lake Waramaug to capture the grayness. Still shooting with my Leica Monochrom and f.95 Noctilux lens. The Nocti is not the most obvious lens to use in daylight but it is critically sharp and has a lovely signature. My shots across the lake are not entirely successful. Three frames stitched.
On this day last year: 5 MA.
