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

C.London52w7 - High Key

From the C.London website: "High Key photography refers to images in which the shadows are bright to non-existent. High key photos are very bright and often have an airy or ethereal feeling. They may also be just bright and stark. Using either artificial or natural light, make a high key photograph."

With single digit temperatures and snowing, I had an idea for shooting a high key image that included a colorful wall mural with a snow-covered foreground.  High key images don’t typically have pops of color, however I wanted to break that rule.  Unfortunately, the building was in the midst of demolition so no mural available!  As I drove around in search of other shots consistent with my intent, my eye caught the repetition of red.

As a fallback, I also shot a more traditional high key image that I’ll post as an alternate.
