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

Irwin

Irwin
CLondon52w29: Portrait of a Friend

From the C.London website: “Let’s do portraits! Find a willing model (yes, your dog will do just fine) and work to capture their personality in the image. Pay attention to lighting, posing, and environment.”

My good friend Irwin has been the subject in many of my photos over the years so it was natural that I ask him to do so once again.  I have always captured him in a recreational setting but never in the business he built over a long career.  In 2015, his daughter and partner’s son purchased the business and it continues to excel under their leadership.  Irwin still consults part-time in the business so I wanted to convey that part of his story.

So on this Sunday afternoon, Chicago Glue & Machine was the destination.  Irwin was proud of what he built and I was like a kid in a candy store.
