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

Hallucination

Hallucination
CLondon52w20:  Shape

From the C.London website: "Continuing with the little trick I often share with my students struggling with composition.  When looking at a scene, if you’re unsure of how to compose for that image, unfocus your eyes - instead of seeing a cityscape, notice the shapes of the scene.  That isn’t a tall building, it’s a large skinny rectangle.  That isn’t a street, but a curved line cutting through the scene.

For this week, try this technique out, and find shapes in a scene.  Then compose the image to highlight those shapes."

Although a day before the official start of this challenge, I was walking around downtown Chicago with the intent of making photos for a couple of current and upcoming challenges.  Not often I get downtown so I wanted to take full advantage of the change of scenery.

The shapes (and colors) of this "Art Wall" struck me as a possibility for this challenge.  When able to capture a cyclist moving through the scene, it made using this image a certainty.
