I am Jacques Strappe's photostream
|
I am a graduate of Northern Michigan University, where I earned my BFA in Photography.
I use a Nikon D90 for my digital photography. I enjoy medium format and use a Ciro-flex and Hasselblad for that, as well as a Holga and other toy cameras.
My current project, Useless Creatures, involves photographing dead and decaying animals. To read an artist's statement, visit the Useless Creatures set on my flickr page.
The blog for the Useless Creatures project can be found here: jorieobrien.blogspot.com/

JackCoursey says:
"This fine lady is indeed the Annie Leibovitz of Michigan theatre photography. She also is quite a researcher, evident by her ability to locate these architecture gems harbored away in obscure hamlets within the great Midwest."

"I am now 47 and it has taken me this long to get even close to the eye for detail that a much younger IAJS has. I'm looking forward to seeing all the wonderful things this photographer has to share with us in the future."

Newleaf says:
"This young woman takes the most amazing photographs; better than 90% of the others on Flickr and certainly (mostly) better than mine. I love her choice of subject, her stories, the ability to record and tell a story with her camera. And no, I'm not related."

"Mo is a wonderful photographer. She sees beauty in the details and in the textures of what is in front of her. She never fails to surprise me with a different view of something that I have shot myself. I'd like to claim that she learned it all from me, but in fact, I think she's in a class by herself."

SNWEB.ORG Photography, LLC. says:
"She does some great inspiring photos of theater marquees.
She reminds us of the good old days of theaters in every neighbor hood and the elaborate architecture that dominated the world.
Photos of theater marquees are rare and she does them justice."17th June, 2005
