WARREN CONNECTICUT – I continue to get good results from my Leica Monochrom. This may be the most interesting, and in some ways challenging, camera that I’ve ever owned. I’ve been very busy at my day job so I’ve been shooting what’s close at hand – giving the content part of my images a prosaic tilt. Here’s the front of our house.
On this day last year: Construction site.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – Out with my Leica Monochrom the day after a heavy snowfall. Images are self-explanitory.
On this day last year: Hell’s Kitchen.
NEW YORK NEW YORK – A truly crappy day. Out my window with a Leica Monochrom.
On this day last year: Faux percolated.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – A gray day with freezing rain. I drove to the Washington Club beach on Lake Waramaug to capture the grayness. Still shooting with my Leica Monochrom and f.95 Noctilux lens. The Nocti is not the most obvious lens to use in daylight but it is critically sharp and has a lovely signature. My shots across the lake are not entirely successful. Three frames stitched.
On this day last year: 5 MA.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – I’ve been working a lot recently with my fastest lenses, my Leica 50mm Noctilux (f.95) and my Leica 24mm Summilux (f1.4). I often shoot the 24mm with a .9 neutral density filter which permits it to be used wide open in daylight. The rendering is lovely, turning mundain subjects into magic:
On this day one year ago: Purple Heart.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – Another day of snowshoeing. Lovely light but the snow is less pristine and I find myself repeating yesterday. It would be nice to take a break but that’s not really an option in the photo-a-day world. Here’s something from my Leica S and 120 mm Summarit lens.
Leica Monochrom and 24mm Summilux lens:
On this day last year: St. Valentine’s Dau run up.
WARREN CONNECTICUT – Well the blizzard really did arrive: two feet of snow and major winds. Remarkably we haven’t suffered any damage or power outage. By the afternoon it cleared (but still high winds) so Maria and I took the opportunity to snow shoe. All images taken with my Leica S medium format camera and a 35mm lens.
On this day last year: Lexington Avenue
