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 no different. My main photography goal for the year is listed in the January submission of the 2024 C.London 52 Week Photography Challenge. Content this year will work towards that goal in addition to my general shooting. Check out my website "About" page to learn more. The website is at www.jeffmarcowitz.photography 

All content posted here in the blog will also be on the website, however with a subscription to the blog, you'll continue to receive the email notifications.

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

Ron


4/12/11 - Week 15
Walking back to my hotel from dinner, I met Ron outside of a McDonalds on Market Street.  I told him about the $2 Portraits project and he agreed to let me take his picture. I took a few shots, none of which were entirely in focus.

Ron is 55 years old and was born and raised in Oakland. He was hoping to get enough money to get something to eat and BART fare back to Oakland where his family lives. He said something about wanting to get things straightened out with his brother-in-law.

I didn't want to hang around long to fiddle with the camera for a better shot so I gave Ron $2 and wished him luck. He said thank you and walked toward the BART station.
