About Me
My name is Jeff Emtman. I'm a lifelong student of photography, sociology, and radio journalism. In 2011, I earned a Bachelor's at Fairhaven College of Interdisciplinary Studies in Bellingham, Washington. My degree is in Social Portraiture. If that interests you, please read my concentration.
I was born and raised in rural south-eastern Washington by my mom and dad, who are good people. I am supposed to be a Lutheran. I have good health overall and I never get sick, but at times I convince myself that I have a brain tumor. People have been very good to me throughout my life more than I have been good to them in return.
I recently spent a summer hitchhiking from the very Northwest corner of this country down to the Mississippi Delta and back. It changed me for the better. Take a look and a listen here.
My work stems mostly from my dreams, but other things as well, like flickering florescent tube lights. Plastic wood also interests me, as does linoleum, wallpaper, and window blinds. These are the essence of Americana.
I can't remember names or faces, though I always say that I can remember one of the two.
I prefer interesting things over happy things, though the two aren't mutually exclusive.
Hopefully you know me a bit better now. Tell me who you are when we speak next.
I took the photo at the top of this page right after I had a bit of laser surgery for a rare eye condition that I have.
