NEW YORK NEW YORK – Back home. I carried my little Ricoh GRD IV through the day, catching autumn foliage ending up on the sidewalk, and a new installation at Lever House, a salt water aquarium and plants by Paula Hayes. Very cool. Worth a look.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – At the beginning of a very busy week my firm gave a party for me and one of my partners at the Four Seasons Restaurant here. I won’t say, here at least, what the event was celebrating. I carried my Rikoh but was distracted from photography. I managed to take this looking up from the bar before things got into full swing. I’ve included a shot that Francesca took of me speaking just to document that there was a party.
On this day one year ago: Washington Congregational Church.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – We had dinner with some friends at Pino Luongo’s new restaurant, Morso. The “we” in this case is the editorial me; Maria is in Brazil on business. Taken with my ever ready Ricoh GRD IV.
As promised I’m stopping with the self portraits. I’m expecting traffic to skyrocket. That means I’m going back to “On this day one year ago . . .” Too bad that on this day one year ago I did a pretty pedestrian shot out my window. Note that a year ago I was whining about being busy. November is a tough month. Anyway . . . .
On this day one year ago: Out my window.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – This is a very busy time for me. Barely time to meet simple physical needs, let alone photograph. I did make it out to Fairway to buy groceries. Taken with m Ricoh GRD IV, my constant companion during this period. As you will see I don’t excel at “street”, even with the street shooter’s favorite camera in my hand.
Back to my self portrait series. I experimented with what I looked like at various resolutions. Here is one of the February 14, 1999 self portraits, shot on an 8×10 Arca Swiss. In this version I’ve reduced the resolution to four pixels by four pixels.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – I took a break between meetings today to get out into the street with my Ricoh GRD IV. This is a stitch of three images.
Let’s continue the ongoing saga of variations on self. It’s 24 slivers just as in yesterday’s image but I’ve blended them into a continuous image and trimmed off the stuff on the top and the bottom that didn’t blend well. the scale on the bottom is a continuous 24-hour scale – as you read from left to right you get me later and later. The single shot with glasses on results in a sliver of glasses on my nose.
