Some Things To Know

 

- If you have an issue with artistic nudity, free expression, or any aspect of the human body (either clothed or nude), you might want to turn around and leave right now. I have an abundance of all of the above in my stream.

 

- I do not want to see your wife's vagina. I do not want to join the "Cum on my Panties" group. I am glad you find these things enjoyable and I see nothing wrong with it, it's just not why I'm here. So don't bother.

 

- Stating the obvious: if you have no photos of your own, don't bother fave'ing any of mine or adding me.

 

- Similarly, if you have no photos of your own but have several pages of faves that consist entirely of children (either clothed or nude), odds are good that I will call you out publicly and report you, as well. Don't cross my path if you're a pedophile. You'll regret it.

 

- I swear. Profusely. Like, all the fucking time. I am a writer, and I love the English language. I love words. I love the punch they can pack. I apologize if this bothers you, but I don't see myself changing in the future. Also, don't tsk-tsk me about my language, either. That only makes me swear more. Plus, I'm 30 years old. Thanks.

 

- I am here for art. I love CC. Bring it on! I have learned so very much from the amazingly talented people here.

 

- If you fave my stuff and never comment or say hello, I will become suspicious and block you.

 

- I love my son more than the air I breathe. The bulk of the photos on my stream include him in some way or another. He is my inspiration.

 

A big, huge, delicious & yummy shout-out to my best friend Amanda who buys me a Flickr pro-account every year for my birthday. Love you, baby! xo

I feel propelled to put into words the wonder which is Jenn. Though sometimes words don't seem to suffice her. She is all of what the great people who have spoken before me describe her to be but to me she is also a surprise. Every day she finds a new way to be a fantastic friend. You can feel her love for her husband and her child resonate in her photography, you can see the grace of her vision in her work and it rings loudly in all that she does. Jenn is rare and it makes me proud to call her much more than a friend-but my family. Jenn does not have friends, she has family, kindred spirits which she reaches out and touches in a way that forever alters their life. I know without a shadow of a doubt she has made my existence in this world brighter and better. *MUAH*

Jenn shines from the inside out. Her photography is an extension of her whole being. It's raw, beautiful and above all else, it's HONEST! When Jenn calls you her friend, you know that she means it. She is the friend that everyone hopes for in this lifetime. The one that will have your back in a crisis, the one that will tell you to shut your face when it needs shutting. The one that will hug you when you least deserve it. When Jenn calls you her friend... consider yourself blessed. Her friendship is a gift. Cherish it! XO

The Souls Muse. The soul is defined to be: n. A strong, deeply felt emotion conveyed by a speaker, performer, or artist. Muse is defined to be: n. A source of inspiration. And Jenn is nothing short than love epitomized. I find myself in the awkward position of not knowing what to say about her or her work. Other than it has done more for me than any textbook or poet laureate ever could. She is worth for more than the moment of your time. Offer that moment, and she will off you a chance, a thrill, a laugh. No less than a deeply felt emotion being conveyed by a strong source of inspiration. Love.

i had always thought that eventually i would come back and alter this testie (snicker) for jenn... because the longer i've known her and the more i learn about her, the more that i love her. she has very quickly become one of my very best friends and her constant care and nurturing of our friendship has helped to shape the better and happier and more content person that i've turned in to. her work inspires me. she's taught me to look at the world just a little bit differently, to appreciate the details, to give and love selflessly, to trust in myself and my artistic vision. she shows me every day what it is to live gracefully. what a family really should be. what a mother should be. what a friend should be. i will never have enough words to express here what her artistry and her friendship mean to me... because there just aren't words enough. she is vision and light, poetry in every day actions, masterful and passionate. she is... jennifer louise. my darling friend.

In a word, passion is what seeps out of Jenn's work. Like any craftsman, she won't reveal her work until she has massaged it to perfection. But more than that, the parts of her life that she shares on Flickr give glimpses of a woman misplaced in time, born of the 60's, free spirited, "comfortable in her own skin" as Travis McGee would say. In all that she does, she goes all in, 110%. If she likes you, she loves you; if you cross her, she'll cut you off at the knees (I have no doubt). She is an incredible mother: "mama bear" doesn't begin to describe it, her love for her son is palpable. The pictures of him show me how much of herself she has poured into her son. Her life radiates youth and beauty. Look at her work and see for yourself.

An old soul with such creative youth. Jenn's photos and words feed my soul... I get lost in her photos, I hold onto every word she writes.. A deep, connected earth mama, and a light airy soul sister. Pablo Picasso once said 'every child is an artist, the problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up'. Jenn, you are the artist Picasso envisioned. You connect to your inner child and create magic on canvas, through film, and from your very lips.

i could probably take up this entire page with my love and appreciation for Jenn and her work. actually… i could take up one page on EACH! one just about her… and another just about her work. i have told her a number of times how closely and immensely her work affects me. to me, it is like when you are looking through, say, a pottery barn catalog and looking at their living room and thinking about how it totally speaks to your soul…how you think that it is exactly the way you see your dream house. well, Jenn’s photos are like that to me. some of her shots, her compositions, her processing and her style are like they are being ripped out of my own cerebellum (or would they come from my cerebrum?). i absolutely adore her art… and i say that in FULL meaning of the word art. if i had not wanted to be a photographer before, this is the kind of photostream that would likely make me drop whatever else i was wasting my time on to take it up. the level of intimacy created by Jenn’s work is incomparable. she can make you feel like you are right there in her home with her (oh, to be in a house with SUCH a magic window!!) and like you have been close friends with her for years through certain photographs. her openness with her life steals my breath often times. her passion for life makes my heart work as though i was running windsprints. her generosity and selfless lovingkindness are just more attributes that i can only strive to emulate in my own daily life. her unfailing love for her child is an inspiration to me as i wait to become a parent. i used to be a little envious of anyone who could be counted as her friend or family or basically had her in their life in any way. now i am happy, blessed and truly fortunate to say that i envy myself a little now in that regard. (proud to be a part of The Fantasmagoric Foursome) LOVE YOU JENN!! xoxoxo

Jenn photographs her subjects with love and brings out the poetic and whimsical elements that we may not see, and have to be shown. There is a profound goodness and honesty in her work and captures, infused with hints of sarcasm and sailor's mouth on occasion, but nevertheless full of heart, humor, and humanity. She is a master of post processing, texture, and capturing the intimacy of good composition. The earthiness and closeness to nature that is seen in her work adds a very spiritual dimension to her photos, which radiates and is noticed immediately. If you want someone to capture the soul of an image as opposed to ordinary documentation of events, talk to Jenn.

Her photographs are her vision of the world, the world she lives in, the one she sees. She has a very good eye, and know about light, she plays with it. Loves details, and unusual angles, depending on the photo she would give the colors brightnes or tone then down. She is passionate about the photography, and loves to experiment, specially with his son, that will have a million photos when he gets to the age of ten.
