"So, my advice is to use Jun as a model and just live life, try things and, if we're lucky, we'll have sort of a bit of impact, like Jun did." - Graham Harrison Lee

Step into the past and peek behind the lens with legendary photographer Jun Fujita - join me as I continue my captivating conversation with Fujita's great-nephew, Graham Lee. We'll hear insider stories about Fujita's unique photographic style and his creative partnership with his wife Florence Carr Fujita.  (In case you missed it, please listen to Part 1 of our conversation, Through the Lens of Jun Fujita.)

Graham gives us a rare glimpse into the daily life of this innovative artist. Discover Fujita's passion for mathematics and how it may have influenced his pioneering photographic techniques. 

Stay tuned as Graham recounts his own remarkable journey - from studying the arts at Interlochen to launching a newspaper with his parents to his current role at American Girl in Middleton, WI. His diverse experiences shaped his dedication to preserving his great-uncle's legacy.

We end on an exciting cliffhanger about Graham's upcoming book on the man behind the camera. Don't miss this chance to time travel through photography, family histories, and the enduring power of art.

I've been a writer, actor, photographer, and musician and have worked as a freelance journalist for magazines and papers since I was in my late teens.

My favorite writing job was working for an award-winning community newspaper in Saint Paul, the Park Bugle.

I’ve also taught others how to write for community newspapers at The Loft Literary Center in Minneapolis, MN. And, during the last few years, I became a family historian.
