A game, a series of essays, an abstract visual narrative, all of the above? The design of Jason Fulford's third photobook 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 the dust jackets of books 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. He lives in Brooklyn, NY, and Scranton, PA, and is a co-founder of J&L Books.
