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

4 Beards from COD

When in Palm Desert, a couple of hours at the College of the Desert street fair usually provides for some good photo ops.  On this visit, I spotted a few more beards worthy of the ongoing "Beard" series.  In each case I asked for a photo and all obliged.

All photographed 11/10/24

A musician/singer in a band playing classic songs to the crowd at COD.  He's had his beard for a very long time and trims it every 6 months.

Brighton
An ethereal, meditative guy who sells crystals of all sorts.  Don't recall how long he's had his beard, but the trim timing is random.
