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

Marisol

Marisol
52Frames - Week 4 - Portrait of a Stranger

I don't know squat about posing people for portraits.  So when I approached Marisol and asked for a photo, I was not confident about getting anything that didn't look contrived.  Out of 20 shots, I deemed 3 worthy of consideration.  Of the 3, only 1 was posed.

This chosen photo was a lucky capture.  As I was departing, she leaned out of her lifeguard station and I instinctively raised my camera and shot.  This was the least contrived shot of any, and my favorite because it was genuine.

Ricoh GRIIIx @ f5.6 1/1000 50mm equiv ISO 200
