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

Connor

Connor
On Powell Street, he was asking for 50¢ to get something to eat. I told him about the $2 Portrait project and he readily agreed to participate.

Connor is 22 years old and was born and raised in Massachusetts. He left home without a plan and has been in San Francisco, living on the streets, for about a year. He plans to return to Massachusetts when he has bus fare to do so. Right now, he’s about $60 short. With a GED, he’s not sure what’s next. His biggest regret - not following his Dad’s advice when he cautioned Connor about leaving home without a plan.

I wished him luck, gave him $2 and accepted his thanks.
