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

Andre

Andre
I met Andre on Davis Street in Evanston as he asked folks for some help with train fare. His destination was downtown Kenosha where there is a spot in a shelter lined up but he needs to get there before it is given away.  Andre was born in Zion, IL and is 47 years old.  He has family in the Chicago area and Wisconsin who are all struggling.  Before the pandemic, Andre was a laborer, unloading trucks for a liquor distributor, but there is no work for him now.  Andre was not the talkative sort so I gave him $2 and wished him well in getting to Kenosha.  He thanked me and turned his attention to others on the street.
