(TEMPLETON, ED). Templeton, Ed. Oakland, CA: B-Sides Box Sets, 2017. First Edition 1/2000. 16mo. Loose Plates in Plexiglas Box. Photography Monograph. As New/No Jacket - As Issued. 50 loose 2 ½ x 3 ½" cardstock sheets printed offset recto and verso, 47 illustrations in color and b&w. "All photographers have a secret stash of photographs that float on the margins of published existence. Photographs that never quite fit into their current projects or are waiting to become the narrative of their next book or show, but that are too good to be left unused. They persist: the photographers pull them out, year after year, they recognize them as great images that should be shared, but the photos somehow frustratingly defy their years of shuffling into categorization or conventional use. This box set is those photographs, finally liberated from that file labeled "Orphans & Misfits". "Loose Shingles" displays alternate photos and outtakes from Ed Templeton's many projects over the last few decades, including "Teenage Smokers", "Teenage Kissers", and other editorial and street shots. In addition, Templeton has hand drawn the backs of each photograph which provides more information on the images and adds a personal touch". A brand new, most handsome example of this charming little set of fifty collector-type trading cards additionally BOLDLY SIGNED "Ed Templeton" WITH A SMALL DRAWING OF AN EYE in black ink on the title card housed in the publisher's Plexiglas box, as issued. 1-5323-7487-9 Inventory Number: 027442
