In the last couple of months I have come to appreciate the fact that IC pretty much constantly has speakers or presenters on campus. Whether they are writers, photographers, business people or artists, visitors to IC are always knowledgeable and frequently fun and/or interesting. On Tuesday night, I went to hear photographer and photo-editor Jason Fulford speak in Park. Fulford, who has had his work published in the New York Times, Harpers Magazine, National Geographic's Green Guide, and a variety of other places, turned out to be knowledgeable, fun and interesting, all in one.

Fulford is a free-lance photographer who co-runs J&L Books, a non-profit publisher of artists' books based in Atlanta & New York. He spoke about his experience both as a photographer and an editor, and wowed the crowd with a slideshow of photos. His work, which is beautiful and often whimsical, is influenced by a variety of things. To give you one anecdote, a project of his was once inspired by found photographs taken by an amateur mushroom collector. If that isn't enough to make you curious, I don't know what is.

So if you get bored during this luxurious fall break of ours, head over to Fulford's website and explore his work, or check out J&L's website and see what mysteries it holds. Speaking of which, Fall Break calls. Have a great one!
