On this day one year ago: Dirty snow.
On this day one year ago: Park Avenue Straight Up. Day two of the film experiment.
On this day last year: Park Avenue at night. Note the scratch running most of the length of the photo – something that I commented on extensively last year.
I worked through the party with my Sony Nex-7 and a 35mm Leica Summilux. For an event the lens worked much better for me than the Sony Zeiss 24mm: I’m familiar with the feel of its manual focus and manual focus was faster and more accurate than autofocus with the Zeiss because of its tendency to “hunt” in poor light. I didn’t get a picture that I liked of Jonathan. Here are a couple of other friends.
On this day one year ago: Hello Kitty is no more.
From earlier in the day. Taken in Warren with m Alpa Max and 72mm Schneider lens. Two frames stitched.
On this day last year: ice storm.
On this day one year ago: Third Avenue in vile weather.
On this day one year ago: This is not a good portrait of a friend. Really. But some of the goofballs who follow this blog rated it four stars. Go figure.
