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

Swim At Your Own Risk

Swim At Your Own Risk
52Frames - Week 37 - Beautiful View

Victoria Falls
Zimbabwe, Africa

Had the privilege of visiting one of the seven natural Wonders of the World, Victoria Falls.

It is the dry season so the falls were not raging at full capacity.

At the height of the rainy season, 3 days of water running over the edge of the mile long falls equals all the water usage in New York City for a year.

Accessible only by boat, there is an outcropping and shallow pool along the waterfall edge where brave souls can gather and swim. We took a hard pass on that adventure.
