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

Squirrel Island

Squirrel Island
Clondon52w12: Flat Light

From the C.London website: “Flat light creates images with very little contrast.  Often we are told to avoid flat lighting in our images, but there is a time and place for everything.  Forcing yourself to make an interesting photo with disinteresting light will be a challenge and a learning experience.  Focus on other elements like composition, subject, story, etc.”

Today was the day I planned to shoot “flat light” along with some street photography in the morning. And then came the call to duty to pick up our grandson for the day (not a hardship, btw).  Our kids live on a great block in the city with a wide median coined “Squirrel Island”.  I hadn’t brought my camera, however as I approached their block, the flatness of the light and peacefulness of the scene struck me.  I had not seen Squirrel Island in this way previously.  iPhone ultra wide lens to the rescue.

“The best camera is the one you have with you” holds true again.
