Book Description
Considered an important photographer of his generation, Glen E. Friedman has been a unique documentarian since the age of 12, and soon thereafter his first published photo appeared in SkateBoarder magazine. Over the past 25 years he has photographed some of the most idealistic, interesting and rebellious cultural icons around, documenting the rise of the hard-core punk rock scene in the late 70's/early 80's with such bands as Black Flag, Dead Kennedy's, Minor Threat and even producing the 1st album for Suicidal Tendencies (also from DogTown) and later the rise of rap music in the mid 1980's with groups such as Public Enemy, Run-DMC, and the Beastie Boys. He was one of the first to publicize these groups nationally and many of his photographs are recognized as the subjects' definitive portraits. Glen E. Friedman has compiled images from his 25-year involvement within the rebelious cultures of skateboarding, punk and hip-hop music into two collections, Fuck You Heroes (1994) and Fuck You Too (1996). Selections from these books became the Fuck You All photography exhibit, which has toured internationally since 1997. In 1998 Friedman released The Idealist which showcases his unique perspective and asthetic.

The definitive monograph of Glen E. Friedman, a pioneer of skate, punk, and hip-hop photography, including much never-before-published work. Glen E. Friedman is best known for his work capturing and promoting rebellion in his portraits of artists such as Fugazi, Black Flag, Ice-T, Dead Kennedys, Minor Threat, The Misfits, Bad Brains, Beastie Boys, Run-D.M.C., and Public Enemy, as well as classic skateboarding originators such as Tony Alva, Jay Adams, Alan "Ollie" Gelfand, Duane Peters, and Stacy Peralta, and a very young Tony Hawk.

Book Description
Renowned photographer Glen E. Friedman's breathtaking and ambitious exploration of clouds. Recognize your humility, recognize the power of nature, recognize the beauty of the world. It is rare to find a photography book like this, one that genuinely and with total directness conveys the spiritual qualities of the material world. --LA Weekly This incredible book was the first of all of Glen E. Friedman's works to not use anything from his past archives of infamous iconic images. Recognize is based solely upon his artistic studies and ambition. A hand sewn, extra wide book of photographs of clouds from inside the clouds themselves, Recognize has far reaching implications on the world of modern art. From the afterword by Ian F. Svenonius: Just as Renaissance artists reintroduced the classical world's honesty and discipline to art making, Friedman restores picture taking to its primary and vital function: composition of the natural world, combined with a sense of wonder at the magnificence of what is all around us. From the preface by Peter Lamborn Wilson: These photos are more pleasurable than one might expect because they are secretly more painful. They hide an aesthetic shock behind what first appears to be more picturesque nebulosity. They sneak up on you, gradually becoming more and more sexual, more uncomfortable. It's customary nowadays to claim we 'distrust beauty' because it has betrayed us. In fact, the reverse is true: our culture betrays beauty and then blames it for its lack of depth. On this edge Glen's work is dancing--hence its vertiginousness, its touch of vertigo. Real beauty is always serious.

Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
From the deepest depths of punk rock's 1970s primordial wastelands, through the stygian goth swamps of the 1980s, and on into the bloodstained arenas of 1990s heavy metal, Eerie Von witnessed it all. Beginning as the unofficial photographer for punk legends The Misfits and later taking charge of the bass guitar as a founding member of underground pioneers Samhain and metal gods Danzig, the evil eye of Eerie Von's camera captured the dark heart of rock's most vital and bleeding-edge period, a time when rock and roll was not only dangerous, but downright menacing. Eerie Von's lens has documented everything from The Misfits' humble beginnings in Lodi, New Jersey, to the heights of Danzig's stadium-rock glory alongside metal superstars Metallica. As well as an essential visual document of music history, Eerie's road stories of triumph and damnation bring to life an era the likes of which will never again be seen.

A beautifully curated collection from celebrated photographer Glen E. Friedman's early years. The Idealist is a retrospective collection of Friedman's aesthetics, [featuring] some of the images for which he is justly acclaimed and many others that will be new to his fans, ranging from DogTown skateboarders, and hard-core heroes to hip-hop icons, cityscapes to portraits, public intellectuals to historical monuments. --BOMB The Idealist showcases the photography of Glen E.

Though he continues a heavy focus on both imagery and message, only a few of his traditional photographs of legendary people in the hip-hop, punk, and skate communities will be recognized. The Idealist traces Friedman's development as a fine artist as his subject matter includes a breathtaking international scope of landscapes, still life, and documentary, highlighting his capacity to capture essential moments of most anything he sets his eyes on, to help us open ours.

Book Description
If you loved Cocky Bastard, you're going to absolutley love this story!! I never imagined that I'd be adding Manager of Operations for Park Street Animal Shelter to my resume. Not until my firm closed up, my boss moved away, and I was asked, nearly begged to step in and help. Once I found a decent allergy medication and adjusted to the smell that accompanied the shelter, I was oddly excited to start my new venture. That is until I met our on-call Veterinarian. Greyson Knox. Local animal doctor, famously rich, unfathomably gorgeous and my worst nightmare. I can put up a good fight, always have, but against Greyson; I've always been flustered, irritated...weak. Especially after what happened. Four years I've managed to avoid him. I've stayed on my side of town with my head down and now he's here...and I can't escape him. Some men are cordial, kind, professional...but Greyson Knox is nothing but a vicious vet looking to score. My first order of business was to strip him of his job, get him out of my clinic. But like everything between us, it turned into a war. Except this time, losing would strip me of something I never expected to have. Something I've been too afraid to want, and when Greyson plays dirty by revealing a secret he's been harboring; my battle lines grow weak, leaving me vulnerable for attack. *This is a standalone story. It is a part of the Cocky Hero World created and based off of Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward's Cocky series. This particular story falls within the Cocky Bastard Universe.*
