Jason Fulford: Raising Frogs for $ $ $

Jason Fulford has arranged his third collection of photographs into eight distinct chapters that can be read as a game, a series of essays, an abstract visual narrative or all of the above. The design of the book is rigid and deliberate, while its meaning is flexible. "The intention of this edit and layout," Fulford explains, "is to create as many relationships as possible between the pictures as well as the chapters. I like the idea of a meticulously planned-out event that remains unpredictable." The work in "Raising Frogs for $ $ $" was selected from his personal archive, taken between 1997 and 2005 in various countries. Fulford's photographs have been used on dust jackets by Don Delillo, John Updike, Bertrand Russell, Terry Eagleton, Ha Jin and many others. His work frequently appears in "Harper's" and "The New York Times Magazine." He lives in Brooklyn and Scranton, PA, and is a cofounder of J&L Books.
