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

Against Inhumanity

Against Inhumanity

Via Flickr:
For our day in Vienna, I rented a bicycle and rode all around the city center. In front of Parliament, I met Zäzilia Mayr. She had just participated in a large protest against the Austrian government's inhumanity toward refugees.

I spoke to her for quite a while; her English was okay and my German was non-existent. In 2009, she rode a bicycle from Vienna to Jerusalem (or maybe it was Istanbul) as part of a peace mission. Zäzilia is a writer and poet and blogs at "Sichtweisen". She shared a belief of hers with me: "In every chest there is a heart". Yes, a very interesting person she was. Helped make my day in Vienna a memorable one.

    Dear Mr. Jeff Marcowitz!

    Thank you for sharing the picture you have made from me. Thank you for the words you have written about me.
    We can change the world! We can bring the lights into the hearts!
    Let us work for a peaceful world, for our children and grandchildren!
    Be couraged against Inhumanity!
    Every person brought a message from heaven, when they were born!
    We have to support the goodness in their hearts!
    Peace will be one day!
    I believe in Humanity and I believe in God!

    Zäzilia Mayr
