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

52Frames - Week 2 - New Technique

Went to take some photos to use for Adamski effect at a local shopping mall since today's weather was miserable.  This photo was taken on the way home in the rain/snow because I wasn't certain there were any good ones from inside the mall.

2023_CLondon52_April: Color

 From the C.London website: "Anyone who’s been around in the past knows that color theory is one of my main focuses and passions. As such, you are all subject to my obsession, and April is all about color! If you need a starting off point on Color Theory, I have a blog post, Color Theory for Photographers: An Introduction. I will also be hosting a totally free color theory workshop this month on the challenge’s Discord. Stay tuned for the exact day and time. In the meanwhile, have a colorful month!"

2.  Color Temperature
Photographing reflections on the shady side of the street largely kept color temperature on the cool side and enhanced the depth via contrast between shadows and sun.

Spaghetti Bowl

We don't usually get this view taking off from SFO.  I wonder what this design process was like.
