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

Clondon52w24: Negative Space

From the C.London website: "There are absolutely times when what seems like unnecessary empty space is ideal for the photograph you’re attempting.  Negative space can elicit a feeling of solitude, vastness, calm, etc.  When trying out negative space think about where you are placing the subject very carefully.  Do you want to highlight the surroundings?  Maybe placing the subject off-center within the rule of thirds is the way to go.  Are you more interested in showcasing the emptiness around a subject?  Try a more center-weighted composition.  When done properly, negative space is an incredibly useful tool for showing atmosphere."

Out shooting photos with @photofinish_sid, I was able to try out my new telephoto zoom.
