Who the heck is Jenni?

I live on the East Coast in a dinky little state in a house that’s a mile or two from the Atlantic Ocean. I have two college degrees–one in music performance the other in nursing–and my strange and various careers include music director of a new age/”light jazz” (there’s really no such thing) radio station, on-air announcer of the same station with my own morning show, on-air announcer at an NPR station working the afternoon drive-time shift, recording engineer, medical assistant in an OB-GYN office, RN in the Pediatric ICU, Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore and most recently ICU RN here in my hometown. My photography career started way back in middle school. I won second place in the Maryland Film Festival in 6th grade for a black & white picture that I developed and printed myself. I went through a digital phase and honestly, when taking pictures of my kids I tend to use it but otherwise, I love the toy and digital cameras that I collect (the cheaper the better) as a sort of rebellion against the big, fat digital SLR that I wanted but couldn’t afford. I develop my own black and white film in my garage, get most things printed from Shutterfly or MPix and only use Photoshop to remove dust and/or scratches because the whole point is to create a photo on film, not on the computer. I have three amazing children and a wonderful husband who is tolerant of my habit. He’s just thrilled I’m doing things ‘on the cheap’. If and when I get free time you’ll catch me at the beach surfing, in my garden pulling weeds or maybe reading a book. I also still perfom my music occassionally.
