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

My good friend Irwin is always a willing subject for which I'm grateful.  This image is from a shoot in July 2021 [see previous post for story] that allowed me to try out some new editing techniques learned at this past week's AdobeMax virtual conference.

52Frames - Week 44 - Shot With A Phone

CLondon52w44: Show Motion

From the C.London website: “Light trails, blurred commuters, soft water.  Just a few ways to show motion.  How do we do it?  With a slow shutter speed.  You’ll need a steady hand, tripod, or just a solid surface to keep the camera still.  A tip: using the self-timer or a remote control for non-handheld shots will take out the risk of camera shake while pressing the shutter button.  Find a moving subject and show its motion with a slower shutter speed.  Can’t control your shutter speed?  No problem!  Take this opportunity to think creatively.  How else can you show motion?”

With the 52Frames deadline approaching, and a new CLondon52 week just beginning, I was sitting at my desk, staring at my clock, wondering what photos I could make for each.  The clock motion was mesmerizing and I suddenly realized another 2fer was staring back at me!

"Grandfather" clock + iPhone + Halide Camera app + LR Mobile = Show Motion With A Phone.  And after attending several Adobe Max sessions this week, the image was processed 100% on the phone as well.

Childhood Dream Car
CLondon52w43: Stop Movement (Alternate)

Out shooting photos with my friend photofinish_sid, we agreed he'd take precedence at using the covered bridge images for the challenge.  Therefore, I'm only posting this as an Alternate, largely because this car was my childhood dream car...a canary yellow vette.
