Donald Jones

photographer

Donald Jones is a street photographer from the Detroit area whose fascination is the energy of our down, but not out, city and the fierce spirit that survives. Jones attended Wayne State University and studied with Michael Dickey at the Society of Arts and Crafts, now known as the College for Creative Studies.

He is also a musician and studied music with Sam Sanders at Oakland University.

Donald Jones photos have been reproduced in such diverse publications as the American Veterinary Journal, Detroit Metro Times, and F Stop Magazine. His photos were exhibited at the White Wall Gallery Deadpan Show in Hamtramck, the “Conspicuous Consumerism” show at the 555 Gallery in Detroit and are currently in the www.contactexhibition.com show at the University of Michigan’s Work: Detroit Gallery.

His photos were recently selected to be exhibited at the “Summer in the City” show at the Russell Gallery in Detroit. Many of Donald Jones’s images are available in the “Detroit Greeting Card” series exclusively at The Book Beat in Oak Park, Michigan.

“This is Detroit, straight up. Donald has one of the best collections of the odd and funky in the City of Detroit. Take a cruise through his portfolio and you gather a sense of the soul of the city.” —Buckshot Jones
