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 8 - Triangular Composition

Bitter temperatures this week so getting outside to photograph was not an option. Since my better half had knee surgery last week, I decided to do a literal interpretation of the prompt and photograph her post-op exercise.  Pretty good range of motion for 6 days in!

Black & White In Cancun

When recently in Cancun, Mexico, I took my Nikon 35Ti camera loaded with some Ilford HP5+ black & white film.  Below is a collection of photos shot in late January & early February 2025.  Developed the film with my friend Steve and scanned the negatives at home.

Loved the t-shirt but learned it was the uniform for her clothing store and wasn't for sale.
