I am a lifelong Michigander who currently lives in Marquette.

I sell my work at thejasondean.com and at a craft fair near you, assuming you are near the craft fair.

Passion’s heat

10/29/2026

Spent the afternoon photographing the UP Shelter Network Summit and had a blast! Before making the move to professional artistry, I worked for over a decade on homeless services. I don’t miss the bureaucracy but I miss the people and the sense of shared purpose in working together to help people in need. It was cool to capture a room full of people engaged in discussing solutions to complex societal issues while also having a good time enjoying each others company.

My time working in homeless services informs much of my artwork. One of the reasons I take so many photos of leaves and grass is because I believe in the importance and beauty of things that are considered to be ‘plain’ or disposable. Our society elevates certain people based on things like beauty or wealth but I believe all humans have dignity and worth merely by existing so I use my photography to try and make people reevaluate how they see things that are not usually held in high esteem or import.

Not sure if that makes the sense I want it to. I have a hard time sometimes articulating larger themes present in my work.

TL;DR- I stand with the marginalized.

Thanks leafer for the picture of my large forehead and thanks to Room At The Inn for putting on such a wonderful event!!!

Different song today for wave day, but one that fits my current mood better. It still fits though- gratitude is the fuel that keeps my fire burning. I’m so blessed to have you following along and supporting what I do. I hope you have a great rest of your week and (holy wah!) month.
