NEW YORK NEW YORK – As I’ve gotten more deeply into this project (7 ½ years at this point), my work on my very good days has gotten better while my work on my so-so days hasn’t moved much. That leads to a sense of greater highs and lows than when I started this saga. Today, it turns out, was a high day. I went out looking to take advantage of the fact that the block to the West of Grand Central Terminal is vacant – actually a construction site – allowing light to hit the terminal, and allowing a view of the terminal, that hasn’t been possible for half a century. I actually came back with something quite different.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – More work on “bokeh”, the quality of the out of focus portions of the image. I’m getting lovely bokeh from my Leica 50mm Luxochrom stopped down a stop or two. Wide open it has the “nervous” bokeh typical of highly corrected lenses.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – Out and about today with my Leica Monochrom and a very special lens: a Leica 35mm Summicron version IV that was manufactured in 1982, the so-called “bokeh king”. This lens does indeed have fairly creamy bokeh (the character of the out of focus portions of images) so I shot subjects that provided an opportunity to demonstrate bokeh. You may remember that I’m reviewing my whole lens collection on the subject of bokeh.
