I have been posting to this blog for over 13 years, each year reporting on accomplishments over the prior year and goals for the new year.

2024 is a little different. I’ve decided that 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 

Unlike the past, all content posted here in the blog will NOT also be on the website Project W pages. I intend to make the Project W pages more of 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

Why Eight?


1/29/11 - Week 5
Frank and I took a class today on black & white conversion.  I felt like a kindergarten kid in a high school physics class.  Pretty complicated stuff.  Therefore, before trying any of the techniques provided at the class, thought I'd try Nik Software's Silver Efex Pro plug-in.  This shot is taken on the Halsted Street bridge over a branch of the Chicago River.  I didn't understand the reasoning behind the pattern in the steel plate at the top of the bridge.

    Crow - check out the Flickr photostream. Someone was kind enough to explain the "Y8". Thanks.
