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

New Normal?

CLondon52w48: Your Voice

From the C.London website: "You may feel that you don’t have a distinct voice just yet, and that’s entirely okay! It takes years to truly nail down your voice, and most artists find that their voice is constantly changing. What do you think is integral to your voice at this moment? Is it how you use color, or the subjects you choose? Whatever it is, show it with this week’s image."

Photographed at Portillo's, our favorite italian beef restaurant.  This image depicts several elements that I'm trying to make part of my "voice":
1. Including people (candid or not) and capturing moments in time in public places.
2. More cognizant of foreground elements, layers and using reflections where possible/appropriate.
3. Processing with cinematic color grading and slight lifting of the shadows.
4. Story - I made this image because it is a stark contrast to the scene on a Sunday evening pre-pandemic and pre-IPO.  And it depicts disregard for proper mask use.
