I have been posting to this blog for over 14 years, each year reporting on accomplishments over the prior year and goals for the new year.

In 2025 and beyond, 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 

The Project W pages on the website will be 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

The Debate Continues...

Window in the Wall


2/6/11 - Week 6
Another shot in the series from Goose Island.  I didn't post it in Week 5 because it's better in color than in b/w.  In addition to subject matter for the Flickr group Trash Talk Tuesday www.flickr.com/groups/trashtalktuesday/ , there are lots of old industrial buildings which also make good subjects.  This week I'll post newly shot photos and some more from the 1/29/11 Goose Island shoot.

Up & Over


1/29/11 - Week 5
This shot was taken on the Halsted Street bridge over a branch of the Chicago River.  There has been no sun, and therefore no hard light, but this bridge structure provides some strong shadow for Daily Shoot #441: "Make a photograph using hard light today.  Feature the crisp and strong shadows as a major element of your photograph."  It is a stretch, but I'm submitting it anyway.

Why Eight?


1/29/11 - Week 5
Frank and I took a class today on black & white conversion.  I felt like a kindergarten kid in a high school physics class.  Pretty complicated stuff.  Therefore, before trying any of the techniques provided at the class, thought I'd try Nik Software's Silver Efex Pro plug-in.  This shot is taken on the Halsted Street bridge over a branch of the Chicago River.  I didn't understand the reasoning behind the pattern in the steel plate at the top of the bridge.
