Project W: hike

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

Saved By The Sweatshirt

52Frames - Week 39 - Red

Traveling in Colorado this week where the autumn color change is magnificent. The area we are in displays predominantly yellows and oranges with very few reds. Starting out on a chilly morning hike, my buddy Irwin pulled out his sweatshirt and I knew at that moment my streak was saved.

Push-Ups & Pull-Ups

Los Angeles, CA

As if 850' of climb on a 2.65 mile hike at Runyon Canyon Trail wasn't enough exercise, these guys were supplementing their program along the way.

Olivia

Los Angeles, CA

Finishing a 3 mile hike at Runyon Canyon Trail, I encountered Olivia working a free clothing stand in support of abused women. Her smile caught my attention and I asked if I could make a portrait. She was super-friendly and more than happy to oblige.

Descent

Palm Desert, CA

Another photo from the Cross Trail. I like this image because the people form a horizontal line across the center of the photo and at the same time appear to be moving deeper into the frame in a three dimensional way. Does anyone else see this same effect?

Cross Trail

Palm Desert, CA

Short hike of 1.2 miles out and 1.2 miles back; 613' of climb (averaging a 10% grade). Coming down was more difficult than going up since I had left the poles at home.
