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

...and I still have this golf ball.  Admittedly, I did not use it on holes with water, thereby extending my possession.

More Than The Naked Eye Can See

More Than The Naked Eye Can See
Palm Desert, CA

This is not one of my best star trails photos, but thought it worthy of sharing based on the number of trails that showed up in the processing.  Didn't bring my astro kit this trip so had to improvise.

180 photos, each 30 seconds long, stacked and blended in Photoshop. The colors were a bit funky, and stars not as sharp as I would like, hence the b/w processing for a more striking image.

J's Deli

Dinner at the deli so the day's baked goods were already covered.  Streak-saver shot AND a good dessert nonetheless.
