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

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.
