NEW YORK NEW YORK – I made it down to the World Trade Center today, where the light, like the air, was very hot. I had trouble sorting down to a single image so you’re stuck with a mini gallery. All shot with my Leica Monochrom and a variety of lenses, mostly an 18mm Super-Elmar and 75mm Summichron.
Day 2377 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day five years ago (day 551): Shanghai Tang. Originally in color, but stronger in black and white.
NEW YORK NEW YORK and NEW MILFORD CONNECTICUT – On Park Avenue today I had a slightly melancholy moment: our adult son, Alexander, went to pre-school at the Park Avenue Christian Church Day School. The parish house where the pre-school was housed has been demolished and is now a building site (the first photograph below), no doubt laid low by declining church attendance.
The second photograph is of a ziggurat in New Milford known as the J. Pol memorial. Here’s a link to my 2009 post about it, which very briefly tells his story: J. Pol Memorial

NEW YORK NEW YORK – We left here a week ago for the Caribbean in blustery late Winter, and arrived back yesterday evening to a city in bloom. Spring is a distraction for me: images of flowering shrubs are rarely “strong” but every year I need to get a few of these out of my system.

On this day last year (day 1997): Place de la Concorde
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I liked the light here this morning so I was fairly productive. Choosing has been difficult so I’m presenting an mini-gallery today. All shot with my Leica Monochrom and 50mm Sumicron Asp. lens. In some cases images are stitched from multiple frames.
