Alex Jacque is a designer and developer based near Detroit, Michigan. He studied at the University of Michigan School of Art & Design. As much as he likes creating things digitally, he likes to get away from the screen to work with his hands. His work increasingly takes inspiration from nature, from his childhood spent playing in forests to his growing interest in exploring the more natural side of America. Alex golfs poorly, plays with his dog frequently, and enjoys a good scotch.Tumblr (3.0; @jacque)http://blog.alexjacque.com/<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/cc6bad9f436d6b4e94b5090483f4d040/tumblr_moarisfjto1qz7z14o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Gallup Park, Ann Arbor, MI</p>http://blog.alexjacque.com/post/52812961484http://blog.alexjacque.com/post/52812961484Wed, 12 Jun 2013 16:35:30 -0400original contentphotographylandscapeAnn ArborMichiganwaterphotographers on tumblroriginal photographers<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/6a3e1ffcccc0efff633e35fbb7337577/tumblr_mo6r22oZ601qz7z14o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Orchids (2013)</p>http://blog.alexjacque.com/post/52634043590http://blog.alexjacque.com/post/52634043590Mon, 10 Jun 2013 12:27:37 -0400original contentphotographers on tumblrlensblrphotographyfilm photography6x6original photographersHasselbladfilmanalogmedium formatorchidsflowersBlack and Whiteprettybloom<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/6c3e83f894788a831f68b7f3cb4f6728/tumblr_mntqwibs1o1qz7z14o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Detail at the Taj Mahal</p> <p>Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India</p>http://blog.alexjacque.com/post/52062048201http://blog.alexjacque.com/post/52062048201Mon, 03 Jun 2013 11:55:29 -0400original contentphotographyphotographers on tumblroriginal photographerslensblrIndiaAgraUttar PradeshTaj MahalmarblestonefloordetailHasselblad6x6medium formatfilm photographyfilmanalogKodak Ektar 100Alex Jacque<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/1ac070202056bb7ee42c69541d18f52c/tumblr_mnio84sm0F1qz7z14o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>D.H.
