WARREN CONNECTICUT – Still snowed in for most of the day. It was a major job digging us out. So . . . two interiors.
Day 2,708 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year (day 2,343): Airport
NEW YORK NEW YORK – I’m experimenting with my relatively new Sony Alph 7rii. This is a “mirrorless” camera that packs a 42 meg full sized sensor into a relatively small package. It has excellent high ISO performance. With various adapters it works with just about every lens ever made from every manufacturer. It this point the only native lens that I have for it is the excellent Zeiss Batis 85mm. I did a lot of stitched images today, which results in very large files. Processing them on my Mac Pro desktop is fine, but they bring my iMac in Connecticut to its knees. The files require a fair amount of post-processing work to generate good gray scale images. Interesting times.
I’ve also thrown in an iPhone selfie.
Day 2216 of one photograph every day for the rest of my life.
On this day last year (day 1851}: Late Fall I clearly suffer from Autumn fatigue at this time of year.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Another day on non-elegant work. An image of a local post office with my usual remote stranger. An image of a mirror in a diner with a surprising elegant New York bridges motif.
Day 1,594 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
On this day one year ago: Beast Friends Forever.
PONTE VEDRE FLORIDA – Here we are on Florida’s Atlantic coast near Georgia – Ponte Vedre is actually an unincorporated stretch of beach adjacent to Jacksonville Florida. At dinner a local booster told me that Jacksonville was founded by Henry Flagler when he built the Florid West Coast Railway, but things didn’t work out for Jacksonville because he extended to road further South to what became Palm Beach and Miami, which are more reliably warm in the winter. It’s fairly arid visually here so the best that I could do with my Leica Monochrom and Luxocron lens was a shadow selfie. That and a bunch of palm trees that I’m not posting. Oh, and some pictures of the surf. I have trouble with tropical landscapes.
Day 1,551 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.
I’m actually posting this on January 19 – remember I post about a week after the images are taken to give me a chance to edit. I went to Paris in August to visit my brother in law, Bob Mallon, because he had been diagnosed with cancer. He died last night. Here he is from my post for day 1,405 (August 20, 2013). We had wonderful meals at Paris New York (pictured) and L’Arpège. Rest in peace, Bob.
On this day two years ago: Driving to Connecticut.
CATHAY PACIFIC FLIGHT 841 – On my way to Hong Kong. As usual travel days present photographic challenges. Resorted to self. I’m traveling with my Panasonic GH2 and an assortment of lenses.
On this day last year: Very nice BRG Bentley.
