Project W

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

Architect(ure)

SOOS Architects

Lincolnshire, IL

An interesting building occupied (and presumably designed) by a local architectural firm.  Also an alternate for this week's 52Frames challenge, Architecture.

AnyTown, USA

52Frames - Week 48 - Architecture

EC: 16mm or wider

This photo is a good example of some really bad architecture (IMHO) that is popping up all over the place. These apartment blocks are reproducing like rabbits and very few have good aesthetic quality. This one replaced an even worse strip shopping center...so I guess that's progress.

Childhood Hero

Beers & Cameras-Chicago

Graceland Cemetery meet-up

Chicago, IL

An excellent meet-up, especially for those who've never been to Graceland before. Of all the renown folks buried here, this is the one site I did not want to miss.  I remember meeting Ernie Banks in person at Wrigley Field as a kid.

On The Verge Of Defeat

52 Frames - Week 47 - Sports Photography

I was explaining to a photography friend my dilemma about finding a photo opp for this week's challenge. He immediately challenged me to an arm wrestling match and compelled me to photograph it. Thanks, Mike, for the awesome idea and for not tearing my arm off!!
