JUST JACQUE represents the musings of a traveler, photographer, and 24 year veteran of retail and IT who was fortunate enough to “retire” at the age of 46. I use that word in quotes because I’m still working, just not getting paid. All opinions and photographs published here are entirely my own. If you agree or disagree with anything I say, feel free to comment. If you appreciate my photos, please comment. I’m not prone to airing my dirty laundry or anyone else’s, but I do have a notorious potty mouth, so the language may be colorful at times.
How do you concisely explain the evolution from witness to artist? I spent 35 years as a photographer, faithfully trying to replicate reality through the medium of a camera. Now I strive to create images that evoke an emotional response primarily using color and movement, painting without a canvas or brush. Inspiring subject matter is everywhere and I often do my best work in my own back yard.
