NEW YORK NEW YORK – So my very sore heel was diagnosed yesterday as a torn plantar fascia, a common occurrence, it turns out. The remedy involves limiting activity and waiting, among other things, neither of which am I particularly good at. This is going to impinge on my mobility for the next month or so, which limits the scope of things that come in front of my lens. So today is a little more boring than yesterday, and tomorrow may be more boring yet.

Day 1,679 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.

On this day four years ago (day 218): look up.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Some days are better than others. This one one of them from the one photo every day perspective. I found a lot of images near Columbus Circle where I went for a doctor’s appointment. It’s very hard to edit them on short notice so I’m presenting multiple pictures here.

Day 1,678 of one picture every day.

On this day two years ago (day 948): Eleventh Avenue Project. A year ago after a couple of weeks of planning and waiting for the right day I shot my Eleventh Avenue Project.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – A day of running around on business and various errands. I tried shooting out of the windows of the various cabs that I took, while they were stopped or sufficiently slowed in traffic to permit decent image quality. As always shooting with my Leica Monochrom and 50mm Luxochron lens.

Day 1,674 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.

On this day last year (day 1.309): Elmhurst. Last year I was in this Taiwanese enclave in Queens.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I shot out my window today with a long lens, a Leica R 280mm APO, adapted for my Leica M. It’s essentially perfect. I’ve converted the images for today into black and white. I almost never shoot long lenses – this is a rare exception.

Day 1,673 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.

On this day last year (day 1,308): No dogs. I generally avoid pets and babies, but here is an exception.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I have found myself stuck at home preparing for meetings and generally feeling dissatisfied with my lot. I shot a few images around the house – our apartment is full of tulips that we brought back from Connecticut yesterday. As usual, taken in black and white.

Day 1,671 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.

On this day three years ago (day 575): Conservatory Garden. I went back through the pictures for this day and found that I like the following one more than the picture that I posted.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – My itinerary today took my through Rockefeller Center twice. There are a lot of tourists here, mostly doing selfies in front of landmarks. It’s hard to imagine capturing an image here that hasn’t been done in precisely the same way many, many time before. But today I’ve tried despite the rain and high, bright sky.

Day 1,670 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.

On this day one year ago (day 1,305): Backlit house in Warren.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Here’s another look up. This one a straight up with a wide lens, into a high, bright sky – not the best conditions for landscape. Today is another rushed day so this is one of few images that I had to select from.

Day 1,667 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.

On this day one year ago (day 1,302): The Fountain at Lincoln Center taken with my iPhone.
