CURRENT MISSION

Live a fulfilling life, ideally by selling my art.

ABOUT ME

I get to travel around the country selling my fine art photography at art shows, couchsurfing all the while! I studied music at the University of Michigan, and music is my absolute passion. I love music, all kinds. I also love art, books, and movies, and occupy much of my time with aesthetic consumption. I have recently begun a quest to like everything. Instructing myself to appreciate as many different aesthetics, persons, experiences, etc. It's been wonderful.

I also love the outdoors, walking, backpacking, climbing, biking, working out, travelling. I really love nature, and that is my content for my photography. Check it out at http://jddennison.com/

PHILOSOPHY

I'm making a living off my creativity, and I'd like to have a really fulfilling life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

What I'm most proud of is starting a photography business that allows me to be creative for money, and making a living with incredible amounts of freedom and travel built in. All before I graduated from college. I'm building a life that can support a really killer lifestyle, and I couldn't be more excited to start experiencing it.

Also, I lived in the Amazon with a farmer for a week. That was amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can talk about music for hours. Also, science, trees, books, movies, I can talk about making money with art, why I am here, or funny stories of playing lightweight football. I am a good storyteller.

I'd also love to learn about your passions, your experience, and have fun with you.
