WARREN CONNECITCUT – I stopped on College Farm Road today and shot stubble fields in a very light dusting of snow. College Farm Road takes its name from the fact that it passes through the Tanners’ farm; the Tanners hold the farm under a 500 year lease, dating from 1798, from Yale College. The lease is the first recorded instrument in the Warren Town Hall.

On this day two years ago (day 1,163): Subway. This image was taken with my 1945 Carl Zeiss Sonnar f1.5 lens. More on this in a later post: reviewing this image inspired my to strap this lens onto my Monochrom again.

WARREN CONNECITCUT – Have I mentioned that it’s winter here. I often shoot long on days like today – the flattened perspective appeals to me in the flat light. Here I’m using a relatively recent acquisition, a Leica M 90mm Summicron, on my Leica Monochrom camera. This lens consistently delivers outstanding results.

NORTHVILLE CONNECTICUT – Feeling like shooting some real man-influenced landscape today. Got this from the parking lot in a local market.

i always pause on December 7, Pearl Harbor Day. Probably because of my almost four years in the Marine Corps; the Pacific war was our war; we were taught the island campaigns in great detail, one foot of bloody sand at a time.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – More snow. This weekend I’ve been shooting almost exclusively with my Leica f.95 Noctilux lens. Today I used a 1.8 neutral density filter, which provides six f-stops of darkening and permits me to shoot wide open at f.95 in the brilliant snowy landscape. This provides for a distinctive look that can’t be obtained any other way. The first image is two frames stitched.

Day 1,871 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.

On this day five years ago (day 45): Litchfield Congregational Church.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – So we’re here for a long Thanksgiving weekend with Alexander, Francesca, Laura and Baby V. This is turkey hash day: I turn 100% of the leftover turkey into hash, serve it for dinner, and toss the carcass – I don’t fid turkey stock to be especially useful. More snowshoeing and enjoying a perfectly clear, not-too-cold, winter day.

Day 1,870 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.

On this day three years ago (day 774): Really wide. Four frames stitched.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – I’m dreaming of a white Thanksgiving, just like the ones we used to know . . . .

Here we are after about a foot of snow in the past day. This is completely lovely. We managed some snowshoeing around our other activities which consisted mainly of eating and cooking.

WARREN CONNECTICUT – We drove up here this morning through a snow storm – we ended up getting about 12 inches here. This is fun. It’s still novel. We went snowshoeing. We probably won’t feel this way at the end of February.

Day 1,868 of one picture every day for the rest of my life.

On this day four years ago (day 407): Foggy Thanksgiving.
