it's my 3 year flickrversary!

I really, really suck at commenting on my contacts' photos. It's nothing personal.

I currently shoot with:

Nikon D300 (sometimes D700)
Mamiya RB67
Nikon F5
Nikon F
Holga
Lomo Fisheye
Homemade Peephole
Pentax ZX50
And have dreams of *finally* turning my 1954 Land Camera into a 6x10 medium format.

I had a Fuji S2 Pro for years that I ran over with my Honda.

I then shot with a Pentax K20D for two years, which I loved, until I returned to wedding work. It was a great landscape camera, but weddings? Not so much.

I ran a photo lab for five years, and for over a decade have been making a living shooting rare coins as my day job, and shooting weddings and portraits on the side. My latest obsession? DOG PORTRAITS! No joke.

I am a Portland transplant from the east coast, where I will never live again. I am too much of a Portland junkie now, the food, the beer, the photographers, the weather, the amazing things I can see and shoot in the city or within a short drive of the city...yeah. I think I'm in Portland permanently.

My sweetie buys me pink tulips instead of roses, and holds my hand in public, and I think he's pretty perfect.

I am: a blond, a Pug owner, a girlfriend, a step mother, short, tattooed, widowed, insecure yet confident and outgoing, someone who drags their camera everywhere, someone who misses a loved one every day even though she hated him before he died, someone who has a fondness for unfiltered beers and live music, someone who laughs at inappropriately timed or offensive jokes, I ramble, I don't go to bed on time, I hate alarm clocks, and I have an over-active imagination and regularly stress myself out. My motto is that if I don't laugh I will kill someone or myself, and I have worked hard to see the humor in every situation over the last few years. I have shared some of my favorite stories here in my photostream, and am sure more will come. Anything else you want to know about me can be found scattered throughout my photostream, a good place to start is my 100 list.

Henry Rollins once told me he loves me. True story.

"Will there be another race to come along and take over for us? Maybe Martians could do better than we've done, we'll make great pets."

    "Okay, how have I NOT written a testimonial for this girl before? Because she's amazing. An amazing friend, a spectacular storyteller, and a fantastic photographer. She always seems to tackle life with great gusto, has such a wonderfully snarky sense of humor that I can completely relate to, and one of the biggest hearts of anyone I'll ever meet. I can't begin to describe how much her friendship means to me, even if I don't see her often. And her photography? So varied, from tulips to trees to buggs (you know what I mean) to portraits. Her wedding photography and portraiture has grown in leaps and bounds! Love it all. I'm so grateful to know Jenna."

    "It's hard to talk about Jenna the photographer without talking about Jenna the storyteller, or Jenna the charismatic life of the party. She excels at all of these things. And I love her for it. As do the many people she surrounds herself with.

    It's easy to look at her photostream, enjoy her pretty pictures, read about all the fun she's having, and yet not fully appreciate how strong her photography really is. I mean, how many photographers today could confidently shoot a wedding entirely on film? Or operate a behemoth, car battery of a medium format camera, that is her Mamiya?

    Who can also parade around in their underwear in front of the camera, pose bare ass naked in front of waterfalls, and dress their boyfriend in outfits for photos so outrageous and wild that they push genderbending to its very limits and make you question your own sexual identity? Jenna, that's who.

    The girl's creative self-portraits are a scream, hoot, and a holler, yet at times reveal naked vulnerability, both literal and metaphorical.

    Through it all, Jenna pulls it off (again, both literally and metaphorically) magnificently.

    In person, little Jenna is a dazzling beauty who's packing more moxie than Penn Jillette's daughter. This girl rocks!"

    "Jenna! What a truly, unapologetically, awesomely unique girl she is. She has a fabulous outlook on life ("it'll probably kill me or I'll probably break something, but what the hell! I'll give it a shot!"), and is a blast to hang out with. She takes excellent and inspired photos, is unbiased in her approach (digital, film, who cares?), doesn't compete, and really takes the time to see everything in the environment surrounding her. I'm so glad to have her as a photo buddy and friend, though I'm afraid I may never live down our kitchen conversations about dutch ovens."

    "Jenna has a true passion for film photography that is hard found these days in someone her age. Her love to tinker with various formats and homebrew solutions opens her options up to create amazing compositions. I'd hire her for either a wedding or a nature shoot in a heartbeat."

    *~MacBern~* aka Argyll Images says:

    "Jenna...the best concept of a phoenix risen. To understand this you really have to 'read' her stream. It comes with great illustrations too! LOL! How i came across her stream is a little hazy, but its somewhere i return to frequently, her words make pictures, her cameras make pictures, her dogs make GREAT pictures and her life is a series of shots that are up, down and all entirely too true of living. Shes brutally honest in the best way, and I guess we might just get on well in the flesh. Jenna, i wish you all the best in the chapters yet to be written in your new life and hey! If you make it to Ireland, shout! *hug*"
