Hwhup The Deans List? The Jason Dean here, bringing an end to the first weekend in October. Speaking of ends, this past week we ended all the legal children in our home. Let me explain, lest I catch the watchful eye of the FBI, ICE, or Child Protective Services. On Thursday our youngest child turned 18, so we are now officially a family composed entirely of adults; that is, at least age-wise. Maturity wise, I am (redacted) years old.
Anyways. Let’s get into it.
Field Trip
It’s going to be a shorter newsletter this week because I spent Saturday trekking around Baraga County hunting waterfalls with the one and only Myles. I’m happy to report we did bag and tag some falls, but folks- I am no spring chicken! We hiked about five miles through the woods in 80+ degree heat and my entire body hurts like I fell off a roof and landed directly on my soul.
And I can’t wait to do it again!
Since I have less words than usual, I will use some of them to let you know that I am going to be a part of the 2nd Annual Luova Fest 💖💖💖
The Festival will take place at The Crib from October 10th to 12th. If you’re in Marquette that weekend, I absolutely recommend checking it out 😎 I will have five pieces on display (picture below). I leaned heavily into the abstract because of course I did.
Each of the (framed) prints above can be purchased for $60 at the festival, which is an absolute literal steal! These photos (unframed) will also be available for sale soon on my website, thejasondean.com. In the meantime, if you want to support my work by flinging pretend coffee in my general direction, you can absolute do that by clicking the button below. And if that’s not something you are able to do right now, it is also pretty awesome to share The Deans List on your socials. In both cases, I really appreciate the support!

Did you really think I wasn’t going to take this chance to drop a couple of new photos?


Thanks for being you and being cool with me being me! I hope you have a great week, and I’m excited to share what I was able to capture yesterday with Myles. Hope to see you at Luova Fest as well 😎
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go pour myself an ice bath that I might never get out of.
See you around,
Jason
