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

Repetition

Repetition
CLondon52w21: Pattern

From the C.London website: "Again, based on the 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 yard with a fence, notice the patterns of the scene.  That isn’t a hedge, it’s a repeating pattern of small circles. That isn’t a fence, but repeating lines.

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

As noted in a couple of previous posts, I intended to use my walk around downtown Chicago to make photos for some of the upcoming weekly challenges.  This week is the last of those challenges.

There were a lot of opportunities to show patterns on buildings, however this hip shot became my selection because I almost always prefer people to add interest and the building patterns were a nice backdrop.  Straightened and processed in LR.
