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

Juanita

Juanita
It was about 8:30pm and I was just about to head to BART after an evening of shooting photos.  She approached me from behind, “Excuse me sir, can I ask you a favor?”  Juanita told me she had a few more Street Sheets to sell in order to hit her quota of 75 for the day.  Since she had to be back to the shelter by 9:00pm, we talked fast.  She was about 60 days into a 90 stint selling papers, after which she’ll have enough money to get her 7 year old daughter back and a place to live.  Also, she said the Street Sheet organizers are helping her find a job.

I bought a paper, told her about $2 Portraits and asked if I could take her photo.  She obliged, thanked me and then hustled off.
