NEW YORK NEW YORK – I traveled to Boston today but caught some details of our life at home at sunrise. As I’ve noted in the past that we have collected some Venini glass – some of it is in the photos that I took before leaving. I stopped at the Venini store on Via Montenapoleone in Milan on our recent trip – prices have doubled since I last looked at them a year or so ago. This is ruinous. Most of the stuff on eBay now is junk being held out by sellers as Venini or like Venini.
Here are the pictures, taken with my Fuji Xpro-1 (my in-a-hurry camera – I saw the light as I was running out the door to catch a plane) and 18mm Fuji lens.
More scanned film from an earlier date. Have I commented before that a photo-a-day blog would be very difficult shooting film because of the time lags developing film and scanning? Taken with my Leica M3 and a 50mm Summilux lens.
On this day last year: Portland Maine.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Still suffering from a bit of jet lag. Maria and I both woke up very early – in plenty of time to to watch the sunrise illuminate our living room. Maria picking up after an early morning of catching up on magazines and newspapers. Taken with my Fuji XPro 1.
As I write this my Milan film came back from being developed, and I’ve started to scan it. Here are some samples taken with my Leica M3 and Ilford XP5 film. What I notice most? The grain. I’ll be leaking these out into my daily posts as I scan them.
Duomo taken with 50mm Summilux, two frames stitched (yes, once you’ve scanned film you can stitch it!)
On this day last year: Home in Warren.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Packing for a trip to Europe. This one is a challenge. Hiking in Switzerland, followed by a wedding in Todi and then work in Milan. Anyway, here’s Maria toward the end of the process relaxing with her email. Taken with my iPhone.
On this day one year ago: Alexander pounds the hell out of a golf ball.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Yes, it’s Fathers Day. Originally conceived of as a way for greeting card publishers to scam the public I’ve taken on the task of marketing my family on the concept that Fathers Day is the most important holiday on the calendar. Our adult (really) children organized lunch at Balthazar. Maria and Francesca were the first to arrive. Here they are taken with my Sony Nex-7 and Leica 24mm Summilux lens.
On this day last year: Rest stop. Pretty cool image, actually.
