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

52 Frames - Week 7 - Unexplored

There are several public beaches along Lake Michigan in Chicago's northern suburbs. Lloyds Beach is one I have not previously explored.

With temperatures moderating a bit, ice is beginning to break apart from the frozen lake edges.

One thing about shooting on film...you never know if you're going to get open or closed eyes 😬.

He struck up a conversation after seeing our cameras. Didn't understand 90% of what he said, but in the end he agreed to a portrait.
