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

Filmstrip

Hansa Coffee
This local coffee shop has rolling garage doors that open in the warm weather.  During winter, the glazing is reminiscent of a movie reel or filmstrip.  Appropo because this was taken with my 40+ year old manual focus film camera.

My buddy Irwin is always a willing subject and for that, I'm grateful.  I don't recall what we were discussing, but he certainly felt strongly about it.
