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

Charles

Charles
Relaxing on the hotel plaza the morning of my son’s wedding day, he approached me and asked if I could donate to the homeless.  I asked if he had heard of $2 Portraits.  He had not, however when I explained, he agreed to participate.

Charles is 53 years old and is from Mansfield, Ohio.  He’s been in Columbus for about a year since he suffered a stroke.  The doctors told him he probably would not walk or speak again.  He walks with a cane, speaks pretty clearly and is very happy the doctors were wrong.  Most of Charles’ family is in Alabama and he gets to see them occasionally.  He lives with his wife in Columbus - they are able to rent a bedroom in the basement of a house from what he’s able to collect.  Charles said his wife is in worse shape than he is.

Before his stroke, Charles worked in several different industries. He was in real estate for a while, ran a liquidation business and his real passion was being a cook.  His specialty was cajun food and breakfast.  He’d love to set up a stand or food truck somewhere and be able to get back to cooking.  During this part of the conversation with Charles, I could see the smile break out on his face and his eyes light up.  Engaged in conversation, I wasn’t able to capture that in the photo, but I know he walked away from our chat happier than when we began.

Good Eats

Local Fare
El Mexicali Cafe
Indio, CA

Non-descript outside, nestled between railroad tracks and busy Indio Blvd.  Hopping inside with all 12 tables filled with patrons and a line of folks waiting for authentic Mexican food.  What a find!
