(McGRATH, DENNIS). McGrath, Dennis, Gary Van DeGriek, Patrick O'Dell, Jonathan McGrath, Keith Hufnagel, Mike Blabac & Lennie Kirk. New York: Seems Books, 2015. Second Printing 1/750. 4to. Gilt-Debossed Cloth. Photography Monograph. Fine/No Jacket - As Issued. 128pp, profusely illustrated in b&w and color. Designed by Dennis McGrath and Ed Templeton. Dennis McGrath’s debut book "Heaven" illustrates an incredible journey of a lost soul. In the mid 90s McGrath quit school and began taking skateboard pictures full time. At the same time, professional skateboarder Lennie Kirk started his career at the ripe young age of sixteen. He was a wild child, fearless and invincible. Nothing seemed out of his reach. He was only eighteen when he was run over by a truck. Board broken but otherwise unharmed, he walks away and "found God". After being ‘saved’ his wild antics were no different, if anything crazier. His passion was manic and dangerous, and often got him into trouble. Being ‘saved’ wasn’t enough to save him in the end. Lennie is currently serving a thirteen-year year stint in jail. It’s his second sentence. With an intense collection of letters, photographs and ephemera, McGrath takes us on a visual journey through Lennie’s life - from the wild young kid from North Carolina who had made the exodus to California like many others to skate to the man he is now. "What he did isn't right, but by happenstance I was just there and able to document his life since he was sixteen years old. I remember in 1997 I was in New York with a box of prints with a bunch of photos of Lennie and I showed them to Larry Clark and he said, pointing to Lennie, "Follow this kid around, every time you see him take a photo of him". That was the weird seed planted almost twenty years ago that started this book." A brand new, most handsome copy of the second printing of this engaging document limited to seven hundred and fifty copies additionally BOLDLY SIGNED "Dennis McGrath" in black ink on the title page. 978-0-692-9143-3 Inventory Number: E000DMH

np (96pp), profusely illustrated in color and b&w. Designed by Ed Templeton. "The Swimming Pool" is a new photographic essay from California-based street photographer Deanna Templeton. The series was born after an impromptu nude swimming-pool shoot of husband and artist Ed Templeton, which spurred an eight-year journey in the study of light, expression and the enigma of water. Shooting entirely on color, black and white, and Polaroid film, Templeton sent friends into the pool to be photographed in their truest form. Unlike her street photography, in which subjects were often strangers, Templeton found that creating these portraits required more intimacy and connection - a feeling that is apparent throughout every image in the series. As Ed Templeton writes in his afterword to this volume, "the nude swimmer is floating in a void of quiet solitude, the gentle pressure of being underwater enclosing her form like a baby in a womb and nothing exists outside of this world. A lone figure amidst a sea of blues and greys and frenetic sunlight performing a solitary dance for the photographer above, choosing movements and directions, twisting and swooping, contorting and expelling breaths painting a picture of form and light together". A brand new, pristine example additionally BOLDLY SIGNED by Deanna Templeton.

"Tangentially Parenthetical" is a selection of photographs from Ed Templeton's vast street photography archive - curated, arranged and then rearranged by the man himself. The follow up to his 2014 Um Yeah Arts survey "Wayward Cognitions", "Tangentially Parenthetical" picks up where the latter collection ended. By combining intimate, accidental, and unconnected moments into one linear piece of work, he tells hundreds of new stories through the thoughtful arrangement of semi-related yet completely unfastened imagery. "I'm out there shooting photos all the time that don't necessarily fall under any theme other than general life," says Templeton, "which is a lame title for a book." With a wink to the absurd, sandwiched between a cover of patterned parentheses and with an afterword built from his own stream-of-consciousness storytelling, Templeton delivers a visual mountain from an archive of stunning molehills in which the images are carefully chosen, shuffled by hand, and laid out with the dueling impulses of wonder and wit. A brand new, pristine example additionally SIGNED by Ed Templeton.

PLEASE NOTE: Copies of "Tangentially Parenthetical" will be signed by the photographer at our event on Sunday, December 2nd and shipped beginning Tuesday, December 4th.

"I first came to Tokyo in 1998 on a skateboarding tour, and then again two times in 2001, first for a big citywide art exhibition called "Untitled 2001" and then again as a skateboarder later that year. Those first visits to Tokyo were full of walking and wandering and photographing in the streets when I wasn't skateboarding. Then in 2016 I came back to Tokyo as a tourist after a long absence. These more recent trips have been more focused on shooting photographs and observing the life and rhythms of the people of Tokyo. I like to find moments that speak to human existence and specifically to the customs and rituals of life in Tokyo."

These photographs were taken during seven trips to Tokyo between the years 1998 and 2018, with the majority being shot between 2016 and 2018. "City Confessions #1: Tokyo" is the initial installment of Ed Templeton's new and ongoing series that will each feature a selection of photographs from an individual city the photographer has spent significant time working in and exploring. The "City Confessions" books will ultimately be gathered and slipcased together as a set, so don't miss out on this first volume!

Templeton selected for this volume photographs that do not fit into his usual manner of organizing by theme or subject. In past publications he has arranged his work in straightforward groupings such as Teenage Kissers, Teenage Smokers, or photographs shot from a moving. Wayward Cognitions represents the in-between moments that arise when shooting in the streets without theme or subject. "It's about looking, people watching, finding pleasure in the visual vignettes we glimpse each day," says Templeton. When those moments are removed from the context in which they were shot, dynamic stories can be told or imagined in book form. The photographs here were printed by Templeton in his darkroom; he then created the layout and design himself, building the book from scratch in his home studio". A brand new, most handsome example of the second edition in brown boards of this awesome survey published by Thomas Campbell's Um Yeah Arts additionally SIGNED by Ed Templeton.
