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

Frankie

Frankie Via Flickr:
While shooting photos in the Union Square area, he approached me and asked if I had any change so he could get something to eat. I told him about the $2 Portrait project and he started posing for pictures.

Frankie is 48 years old and has been in San Francisco for 8 years. He was born and raised in Texas and still has family there. I asked him what kind of work he used to do and he said "volunteer work". He was no more specific than that. I gave Frankie $2 and he immediately asked for more, which I found ironic since his first request was only for change. I offered to get him some food, but he opted for the $2 instead.

    Desperate for money, but smokes. I wonder if he bummed the cigarette?
