If your community is interested in fine art photography, rural landscapes, abandoned homes, then I would like to highly recommend photographer Jackson Faulkner. We hosted him here last October and had a decent turnout of 14 adults (we tried to get an article in the local newspaper, but it didn’t come to pass). Jackson lives in Washington state but grew up in Michigan, and he comes home every fall to visit family. He is interested in booking 1-2 libraries on both the west and east sides of the state. He’s planning either the first or second week of October 2019. I have included his website and a recent interview he did, but to really get a sense of his art, check out his Instagram account @jacksonfaulknernet His passion is about capturing images of rural landscapes and documenting their history for future generations. His captions can bring you to tears; they are so beautiful. You can reach him at jackson@jacksonfaulkner.net https://www.roadsidereflections.com/ https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/capturing-the/ep-1-capturing-the-abando... We paid him $150 for an hour, but check with him to see if that is negotiable.
