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

"X" Marks the Spot


Deer Park, IL

Straight Out Of Camera (SOOC) with a film simulation applied in-camera.  Last shot taken with the GRIIIx before it broke.  It's in for repair and I'm awaiting the diagnosis.

Ever since I was a kid, I dreamed of having a canary yellow Corvette.  Never did get one, and now I'm probably too old to squeeze into this canary yellow Ferrari.

Good News / Bad News

The good news is I really like the "Straight Out Of Camera" (SOOC) film recipe that I learned how to incorporate into the Ricoh GRIIIx. The bad news is my GRIIIx camera broke on 5/3 and now I have to figure out if & where I can get it repaired. Bummer!
