NEW YORK NEW YORK – Distracted with working on year-end taxes and so on, so we’re stuck with an interior featuring a Venini vase in the window (I collect Venini) and our relatively recently-acquqired Tibetan altarpiece.

On this day seven years ago (day 155): Hello Kity at Lever House.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I had meetings in Boston today, and then took the Acela back down here. I prefer the train to flying, but there is a downside: on the New York end you end up at Penn Station. I got my images of the day outside of Penn Station as the light was failing. I generally travel with my Leica Monochrom and a single lens.
By the way there was some confusion about my post for March 6. I’m writing this in Connecticut (on March 14 – remember that I post with a week’s delay from the date of the image) and my image for March 6 is on my computer in New York. I’ll sort it out when I get back to New York later this week.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – I’ve been exploring the relationship of New York to its natural setting for a while now. Recently I’ve been shooting wide open, with a neutral density filter if need be, to isolate trees and other natural features from buildings. Here are a couple of examples from today, and as a specaial, extra added bonus, Times Square at night.

On this day seven years ago (day 134): The Anza-Borrego Desert – the driest place in the United States.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – A day in Tribeca with my Leica Monochrom and 50mm FLE lens. Â It was very, very cold: the wind off of the Hudson River is savage. Â The Hudson River Park here is lovely but uninhabitable in the winter. Â The second image, “Marine Repair”, is two frames stitched in Photoshop.

On this day seven years ago (day 124): Original Shake Shack. Â In Union Square.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I spent some time today shooting around the Queensborough Bridge on the Manhattan side. There’s a lot of visual interest going on here – this is a spot where I’ve shot a dozen times. All images were taken with my Leica Monochrom and 50mm Summicron FLE lens. This is the equipment that I shoot best with – I can actually get along with one camera and one lens (despite owning multiple bodies and a lot of lenses). I shoot with a three stop neutral density filter which lets me shoot this lens wide open in daylight. The chimney image is three frames stitched; the look up image is two frames. The stitching technique lets me use the 50mm as if it were a wide angle zoom.
Day 2,680 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year (day 2,314): Reservoir I had been watching for this shot for years. It’s one of my favorites from last year.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – On my walk down Park Avenue to an early morning breakfast meeting I looked up. Later in the morning I caught a reflection of the AT&T building. Both taken with my Leica Monochrom and 50mm Summicron FLE lens; the second image is three frames stitched.
