Project W

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.

Port Clinton Art Fair - Film

Highland Park, IL

I had not shot color film for awhile, nor the Leica CL film camera. A visit to the Port Clinton Art Fair provided a good opportunity to do so. Since neither the camera or lens is weather-proof, I had to duck under cover when the rain set in. This is a small collection of photos from the day. I'm not terribly happy with some slow shutter speed (out of) focus but am very happy with the film scans & colors.

52Frames - Week 35 - Shape With Light

While shaping a self-portrait with off-camera flash, a fortunate consequence was the shadow of my glasses emulating a Batman mask.

Walking by this storefront, I saw her standing behind the bar. I waved my camera as an ask for permission for a photo. She obliged.

52Frames - Week 34 - Humor

Inspired by the smiley face I put on every one of my golf balls. This time, I decided to think about it from the golf ball's perspective.
