Picture Summer on Kodak Film
In 'Picture Summer on Kodak Film', a poem by two sisters echoes across Fulford's photographs, comprised of recurring motifs: time, test strips, refracted light, rainbow colour, and distortion through shadows. Characters and places are repeated in kaleidoscopic compositions throughout this vivid sequence. Though taken across the world (in Canada, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Nepal, Thailand, USA and Vietnam), these photographs come together to create a singular visual language: one bright, timeless, fictional place. A place imbued with the unexpected beauty, humor and meaning, that one has come to expect from Jason Fulford.
The Mushroom Collector
This publication reissues a beloved photobook classic--acknowledged as such by Martin Parr and Gerry Badger in the third volume of The Photobook: A History--that has been out of print since the hardcover edition was published in 2010. As photographer Jason Fulford (born 1973) recently learned firsthand, mushrooms have a way of growing and spreading wherever they touch ground. It all started when a friend of Fulford's gave him a box, found at a flea market, full of photos of mushrooms--unassuming pictures taken by an unknown but almost certainly amateur photographer, apparently as notes for some mycological studies. Fulford's art photographs (aside from his well-known book Dancing Pictures, which depicted people getting down to their favorite songs) are usually of staid, quasi-mute objects: a smashed Dorito chip overrun with ants, two bronzed doorknobs spooning, the blank back of a street sign. Yet these mushroom images got stuck in Fulford's mind, like a bad song sometimes does, and they started to grow in his own work. The Mushroom Collector combines some of the original flea-market mushroom pictures with his own images and text by the artist about the project.
Contains: 3 Books
Jason Fulford: Contains 3 Books is a silver foil-stamped box that, appropriately enough, contains three books by photographer Jason Fulford (born 1973): 'I Am Napoleon', 'Mild Moderate Severe Profound', and '&&'. The culmination of three years and 15 countries' worth of travel around the world undertaken by Fulford as a Guggenheim Fellow, the photographs in these three volumes receive Fulford's trademark elliptical, evocative sequencing, interspersed with texts that alternately explain and confound. 'I Am Napoleon' begins with a prefatory note that can be taken as emblematic of the project as a whole: 'I think any book or picture or composition of any sort, once out into the world, so to say, produces a different effect on each person who seriously tries to follow it. I certainly do not think that the author of it has any monopoly on its interpretation.'
Raising Frogs for $$$
"A game, a series of essays, an abstract visual storybook...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"--
This Equals That (Signed Edition)
"This Equals That ... takes viewers on a whimsical journey, while introducing them to the fundamentals of visual literacy and teaching them associative thinking"-- Aperture learning guide.
The Photographer's Playbook
"Features photography assignments, ideas, stories, and anecdotes from many of the world's most talented photographers and photography professionals"--Cover.
Hotel Oracle
"Hotel Oracle is a sustained visual meditation on the cosmos -- what constitutes it, what its future might be and how to reconcile the world of the supernatural with the world of the 99-cent store. Fulford's photos of people and places search out the clues and signs of the prophetic and the numinous, readily mingling them with the banal and the preposterous. The pictures in Hotel Oracle were taken in the United States, Canada, Italy, Greece, the Czech Republic, Poland, South Korea, Japan, Hungary, India, Bermuda and Germany."--Photographer's website, http://www.jasonfulford.com/jf_books.html, viewed on June 25, 2014.

A Pile of Leaves
Dig through the leaf pile in this collage-inspired book with see-through pages Readers explore the concept of layering and collage with this interactive exercise in composition.

As readers turn the pages, the leaf pile is deconstructed piece by piece on the right side, and reconstructed on the left. Younger readers will enjoy the seek-and-find aspect of the hidden objects, while older readers might experiment by adding their own images between the pages. A key at the back provides the names of each kind of leaf shown. Inspired by the Whitney Museum's approach to looking at art, these books provide a new way to look at the world. Colors are brighter than they appear - printed in pure Pantones. Ages 2-4
