Project W: week8

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

Skeleton

2/25/11 - Week 8
This looked like the skeleton of a dead saguaro along the Desert Park Trail in the McDowell Sonoran Preserve. Not sure if it was a saguaro but very cool nonetheless.

Three Mile Climb

2/25/11 - Week 8
Had to work for a few hours this morning and missed an easy stroll with Lin and our friends. So instead, I went out later on my own and did a 6.6 mile hike. This shot is from Inspiration Point, the highest spot on this particular trail in the McDowell Sonoran Preserve.

Pinnacle Peak Map

2/24/11 - Week 8
Map of Pinnacle Peak Park and trail.

Path to Pinnacle Peak

2/24/11 - Week 8
Another shot at Pinnacle Peak which my buddy Norm and I hiked on Thursday. Good news is this shot is from the backside and we had already come over the trail peak. Bad news is we had to climb this to get back to the front side.

Troon

2/24/11 - Week 8
My buddy Norm and I hiked Pinnacle Peak this morning. 3.75 miles, all up and down, for a total of 1300' of climbing. This shot is of one of the golf courses tucked in between the several peaks. SOOC because I'm too tired to process!

1.5 Out of 5

Vista along our 5 mile hike in the McDowell Sonoran Preserve.

Needles Redux

2/23/11 - Week 8
Another cactus species found along our hike through the McDowell Sonoran Preserve.

Lanterns of Palm

2/23/11 - Week 8
Not an indigenous species but a symbol of a warm climate nonetheless. Taken with the SymmetriCam and processed with the Nik software suite.

Needles

2/21/11 - Week 8
Lots of cool cacti along the road on my Scottsdale bike ride today.

Broken Neck

2/21/11 - Week 8
I had another shot all picked out for Trash Talk Tuesday, but came across this bottle on a 32 mile bike ride this morning in Scottsdale. Actually, it was perfect timing since my lungs were blowing out from all the climbing and it was a good excuse for a rest! Unfortunately, I could not dispose of the bottle since it was broken and I was on the bike.

Theme: Arizona

Heading out to Arizona for a week with good friends. This week's photos are intended to have a southwestern flavor. Cactus, rattlesnakes, scorpions...maybe a golf course. Who knows? Stay tuned.
