Because it rhymes with turtle. Q2: Why a turtle? Because it's a snapping turtle. But with a camera rather than jaws. It's clever and subversive. Q3: I don't really -
Look Debbie I really just need you to get on board with this, okay? Q4: So does this mean you're the turtle? The snapping turtle is called Mervil, who is actually purple. That's why he's the titular turtle. Q5: Who are you, then? My
name is Jak Stocker, a copywriter and self-taught photographer based in the centre of Manchester. Besides writing and photography, I also enjoy a bit of Latin dancing in my spare time, which is how I've been lucky enough to work with so many great instructors in and around Manchester. Crucially, I am not actually a turtle. I am not a turtle on a startling scale. Q6: What services do you offer? Mainly photography and content writing, and I may be able to offer some general marketing assistance, depending on what you need. I'm most experienced with events and product photography, but always ready to try new things. Unfortunately I can't yet offer editing as a service, as my laptop is so old that it has a disconcerting habit of lightly screaming for a bit on startup, so I think another program might just kill it off for good. (I am saving though, so watch this space!)
Q7: Who else works for the turtle? For now, the Purple Snapping Turtle is a one-man band, which means it's currently just me and Mervil. Q8: Did you design Mervil? I did some very rough initial sketches, but the final logo was designed by a very talented acquaintance of mine, who is still deciding whether or not she wants her name out there.
