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

They Still Exist

52 Assignments Exposure 48 - Starburst

Porto, Portugal
I was shocked to see a working telephone booth in the central historic district of Porto and even more so to have a double starburst immediately adjacent.

Literal Interpretation

52Frames - Week 23 - Triangular Composition

My intent this week (after finally reading the whole prompt) was to seek out a triangular composition that also included triangles.  Not having much success with the first part yet seeing lots of the second part, I happened to walk by a restaurant with light-colored umbrellas shading the outside tables.  The contrast of the struts formed the composition and depending on PoV, there were plenty of triangles.

The second photo is just triangles without the triangular composition component.

Crenelations

Crenelations
Porto, Portugal

A section of the city wall dating back to the 14th century that still stands outside São Benito Station, adjacent to the Dom Luis I Bridge and along the Duoro River.  The tower crane visible in the scene is one of many present on the skyline and provides a stark contrast between old and new.
