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 intent here was to create an illusion...which side is real and which is the reflection?

52Frames - Week 6 - Rule of Thirds (Extra Credit:  Street Photography)

While riding the Metra train home, I noticed this reflection in the window next to me.  With just the right lighting conditions, I could place the subject right at a RoT intersection point and have it emerge from the background.  After several attempts with both my iphone and new Sony A6600, I was able to capture a strong reflection along with the "street photography" context as background.  Post was mainly straightening and b/w conversion.

Track 5

Track 5 Via Flickr:
Since going from Android to iPhone, I've not been able to shoot with the SymmetriCam app. Until my Flickr friend Crow told me about an iPhone app called KaleidaCam.

KaleidaCam has options for an image to be made with 4 to 10 sides. I have no idea how this shot was composed since the only recognizable form is the column with the track number painted on. Except for a little sharpening, this is SOOC.
