I have been posting to this blog for over 14 years, each year reporting on accomplishments over the prior year and goals for the new year.

In 2025 and beyond, this Blog will be my main photography communication vehicle. Content will be varied and in the spirit of my approach to photography as described on the "About" page of my website at www.jeffmarcowitz.photography 

The Project W pages on the website will be a curated collection of work representing the “Best Of” images posted here on the Blog. With a subscription, you'll continue to receive an email (with content) whenever I post to the Project W Blog.

Thanks to all of you who have followed this photo blog for many years and welcome to any newcomers. My hope is that the images and stories are interesting and thought-provoking as I continue this creative journey. As always, comments, critiques and suggestions (here and the website) are welcome and appreciated as they often lead to new ideas and inspiration.

Thank You.
Jeff

Crushed It!

Crushed It!
52Frames - Week 27 - Negative Space

18th Hole
Fox Lake Country Club
Fox Lake, IL

Captured my buddy's best drive of the day on the finishing hole. He was crushing them all day.

Admittedly, not a great negative space shot, but the best one I was able to make this week for the challenge.

2022_CLondon52w27: One Light

From the C.London website: "Time to play with artificial light! Your challenge this week is to use one artificial light, and one only, to light your image. You don’t have to have any fancy set-up, a table lamp or the flashlight on your phone will do just fine. Subject is up to you, just no cheating with multiple light sources!"

I took the prompt literally this week and used an iPhone flashlight to illuminate a bronze sculpture that sits on my dresser.

Both the phone and camera were handheld. Have to say I'm very happy with the Sony image stabilization and high ISO performance.
