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

2022_CLondon52w5: Something Familiar 

 From the C.London website: “Something a lot of photographers struggle with is inspiration.  This often manifests from the mundane droll of everyday life.  To that I say: that's your everyday life, and what may be uninspiring to you may be fascinating to another.  All our life experiences are different.  So to recalibrate a little, find something that you interact with every day (thing, place, person, animal, etc.) and photograph that.  Try photographing it from at least ten different angles, play with lighting (reflecting light, table lamps, or if you’re fancy whatever photographic lighting set-up you have.)  Choose the one best from what you’ve created and share that.

Since I’m on vacation and don’t have all my “at home” familiar things around me, I’ve had to resort to looking at familiar things during this two week stint.  This image represents how the afternoons typically end; sitting poolside watching the sun descend behind the mountains.  It’s a rare day with clouds and I took advantage of the formations, color and fortuitous silhouette.
