WARREN CONNECTICUT – We’re here for the three day Presidnts Day weekend, pretty much snowed in. Very high winds and low temperatures bring with wind chill down to -20 degrees F. Basil the Norwich Terrier refuses to step out of the house so we have to make an accommodation for him in the garage. There is a landscape out there, but photographing it is an unappealing process. I did nonetheless manage a few images of windswept landscape.
Day 1,949 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.

On this day five years ago (day 123): Icy sunrise. We seem to have a theme here in rural northwestern Connecticut in mid-February.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – Back on the street with my Leica Monochrom on a very, very cold day. I lean toward a single lens, a 50mm Leica Summicorn Asph., which I refer to as a Luxochron. Most images are wider – I do this by stitching multiple images:The tennis court bubble and the underside of the 59th Street Bridge is six frames stitched in Photoshop.

On this day four years ago (day 482): Film! I shot this four years ago with a medium format rig shooting Ilford XP-2 “chromogenic” film. This illustrates the good and the bad of film. The bad: the white line to the right of Citicorp Center is actually a scratch on the negative – it arrived back from processing in that condition. It’s very odd that it’s perfectly parallel to the building – it almost looks like an act of vandalism. In subsequent versions of this image I’ve edited the line out.
RALEIGH NORTH CAROLINA – I’m here on business so get prepared for a rough patch in the daily photo scene. Traveling with my Leica Monochrom, but shooting a lot between meetings with my iPhone.
Day 1,915 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.

On this day three years ago (day 1,185): Fog. It turns out that I have quite a few images of fog. Comes with the turf in living in the Northeastern US.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – There was a snowfall here yesterday but not enough for cross country skiing or snowshoeing so visually I did what I could with a little bit of snow, good light and some animal tracks.
Day 1,913 of one photograph a day for the rest of my life.
