Hey there,
It’s Jacquie, written JQ for short. I’m a BFA film major who is more interested in Photo Manipulation, Fashion Photography, Set Photography, & Travel photography (Should have switched majors, maybe ).
Took my first picture in Colombia at the age of 5 and got that first digital camera in 2002. Captured and edited most shots featured in “Neighborhood Times”, the child rendered newsletter my friends and I started in 2005. In 2009, I traveled to Mexico and found myself intrigued by the cowboy lifestyle and ranch activities. Afterwards, I returned a few times in order to try out photojournalism. The summer of 2013, I moved to France to work on various photo projects . Right now I might be in Dubai, Ghana, Mexico or back in the States.
Other random fun facts 🙂
- 1 qt left for a BFA in Film but considering the possibility of not finishing my degree.
- Tigers, butterflies and the color teal are my favorites.
- As a child, I jokingly wished to run away and join the circus.
- At 14, my alternate career of choice was “Mermaid”.
- Fashion is totally a form of art. Don’t forget, the world is your runway!!! ❤
- Tigger, my favorite stuffed animal, has traveled more than me.
- Found out both my parents had pet monkeys as kids O.O
I want a pet fox. Or Skunk. Or tiger. Is that a thing? Actually what about a bat ray?
Photographers that inspire me include:
- Tom Chambers– Thought provoking photomontage often illustrating animals.
- Brooke Shaden– Conceptual photography illustrated through photomanipulation.
- Elena Kalis– Breathtaking underwater photography.
- Rockie Nolan – Fashion photographer who recently graduated with a BFA.
- Felicia Simion– Another young photographer with a captivating color scheme.
- Robin Schwartz – Wonderful work with daughter Amelia in company of animals.
- Jim Jordan– Crisp Fashion Photography (music plays in the background)

How would you have kids if you were a mermaid?
LikeLike
That’s a very good question!
The answer depends on who you ask and what kind of mermaid they believe in. Personally, I don’t believe in them.
Professional mermaiding, on the other hand is a term that has come up within the last couple decades. It’s often a blend between the entertainment industry and ocean conservation. Examples of professional mermaids include Hannah Fraser or Eric Ducharme who specializes in the production of realistic silicone tails. Weeki Wachee, Florida is probably one of the more well-known places to offer mermaid performances.
So if they were to have kids, I’m sure it would be in the normal human way. Hope this answers your question 😉

I have always enjoyed saying Weeki Wachee. We had some mermaid shows in San Marcos, TX, and they would have a mermaid picnic and drink Dr. Pepper underwater.

Hi Jacquie, thank you for your kind words, I see from your profile that you are fan of Butterflies.

I will find a way to get a picture of the fabric to you. I think you will like it.

I just wanted to say I relate completely to you when I read “College Senior but considering the possibility of not finishing my degree.” I’m in my final year of university as well getting a degree in English Language and Linguistics. But my life has been unashamedly taken over by photography since about a year and a half ago. More now than ever I have to fight very hard to work on my assignments and finish knowing what I really want to do with my life. But it is comforting to meet someone who is in a similar boat to me. Love your blog by the way, great work. 🙂

Hey Miguel, thanks for the message! Dude you have no idea, carrying stuffed animals can be tricky business. Once, I accidentally left Tigger in Mexico for a year. Later, when we visited the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris, security threatened to cut him open with a knife >.<
Overall though, most people just joke around and watch out for Tigger's well being 🙂

Ohh wow, how did you managed to get him back after a year? And cutting him open? Holy sh** that’s a serious threat over there. But good to know that most people watch out for him. 😉 Well whenever he travels to Peru and Cusco he must check out one particular place/restaurant. I think he will like it over there, it’s full of stuffed animals. 🙂
