NEW YORK, NEW YORK – I’m in a quandry about my medium format camera gear. I like the Hasselblad very well as a camera, but the digital back part of it has some shortcomings when used on a technical camera. The way my shooting style has evolved most of my medium format shooting is being done on a tech camera. So I spent this morning with a demo Phase One IQ 180 back at Digital Transitions. This is out their window looking accross 35th Street. Alpa Max camera with a 36mm Schneider APO lens and a Phase One IQ 180 back:

On this day one year ago: Film Society of Lincoln Center.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – Have I mentioned the weather lately? I’m sort of a puffy clouds in a blue sky kind of guy. There hasn’t been much of that around here lately. We’ve had a storm system settle down on top of us, like a mother-in-law coming to visit for a couple of days but staying for a month. This was taken on Third Avenue with my Leica M9 and a 135mm APO Telyt.

On this day last year: View from poker game venue.

NEW YORK NEW YORK – We attended a dinner sponsored by the Harvard Business School Alumni Club of New York, which named my friend of long standing, Tom Barry, as “Business Statesman of the Year”. Past recipients of this award include David Rockefeller, Felix Rohatyn, Paul Volker, Louis Gerstner, Henry Paulson and Michael Bloomberg. Tom spoke on the role that luck (the “ovarian lottery”) has played in the fortunes of the attendees – one of Tom’s recurring themes. Here’s Tom at the dinner, at the Temple of Dendur at the Metropolitan Museum, taken with my Panasonic GS2 and a 20mm pancake lens.
