NEW YORK, NEW YORK – Back home from Boston. I actually feel almost fine for the first time in over a week. I grabbed my Leica M9 and a few lenses and headed out to explore the second section of the High Line that opened while we were in Italy. For some reason I was in the moment and “on” – some fairly good work after a week of blah. Here are some samples, all taken with my M9 and a 24mm Summilux lens.

Someone left a Post-it note on the High Line. It says, in lovely cursive script, “The most popular US pet name is ‘Max’.”

A perennial border:

On this day last year: Boston Bus Terminal.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – So I took the subway downtown to return the IQ 180 to Digital Transitions. They are on 35th just off of Fifth Avenue so this gave me a chance stalk one my favorite icons, the Empire State Building, in very interesting light with my Leica M9 and a 90mm lens. Three frames stitched.

On Fifth Avenue:

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I had the opportunity to borrow a demo Phase One IQ 180 digital back for the weekend. This is the latest and greatest in digital backs, with an 80 meg sensor and a sophisticated iPhone-like interface that makes it particularly well adapted for use on a tech camera. I’m considering trading my collection of Hasseblad gear for the IQ 180. After picking it up at Digital Transitions I got it set up my Alpa TC and went for a walk. Unfortunately the weather turned grim – as issue because these high end digital backs need a lot of light (or a sturdy tripod and a long exposure). I got as far as the Guggenheim Museum when it started to rain. Anyway, here is an early effort with it:

On this day last year: Quito Ecuador.
