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

Tools of the Trade

Tools of the Trade
I am excited about joining the C.London 52 Week Photo Challenge community.  Many thanks to Chelsea for providing this platform.

C.London52w1 - Setting Goals

From the C.London website, “In the next year we will challenge ourselves as photographers and artists. Setting goals is the first step in that journey. Right now in this moment think about what you’d like to achieve. Are you hoping to get better at portraits? Maybe you want to be able to document your travels more coherently? Maybe you just want to give yourself a new hobby and artistic outlet.  

For our first week, set a goal and make a photograph which shares and documents that goal. We will revisit this midway through and at the end of the year.”

My photography goal in 2021 is to become a better visual storyteller.  Every picture has a story.  It may be factual.  It may be fictional.  It may be intentional.  It may be accidental.  It may be superficial or it may be deep.  But it’s there, somewhere.  I hope that my photos evoke questions about and/or connections with the stories.

So here we go!  2021 tools are ready, but is the creative eye ready?  Time will tell…and your comments and critiques will be most helpful.
