The People of Detroit: Journaturalist

[Canon 7D | Canon 35mm 1.4 | Natural Light ]

jour·nat·u·ra·list (jur-nāch'ər-ə-lĭst), noun

1. A portmanteau word formed from "journal" and "naturalist" commonly used to describe a young woman who grew up in South America, lives in Detroit, works as a journalist and has a strong affinity for nature (exemplified by the ability and willingness to milk goats and weed urban gardens with a machete).

    Very nice shot.

    Side note, looking at the info on the right side of my screen, where is the "necklace district," exactly? lol

  12. Noah Stephens (37 months ago | reply)

    Mike, the district where mugs be wearing necklaces...

    Naw, i guess thats what it used to be known as back in the day. There is or used to be a jewelry store over there by the Detroit Beer Company. I dont know if its still open or not, but I think that's why they tag it like that
