Fine.. 48pp, profusely illustrated in color and b&w.

    LARRY CLARK / THE PERFECT CHILDHOOD

    (CLARK, LARRY). Clark Larry. London: LCB (Larry Clark Books in association with Thea Westreich), 1993. First Edition. 4to. Cloth in Pictorial Dust Jacket. Photography Monograph. Fine/Fine. np, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. Designed by Hans Werner Holzwarth and Design pur. Text in English. Published in Switzerland 1995, Larry Clark's "The Perfect Childhood" caused quite a stir when the attorneys for its American distributor upon seeing their first copy refused to let it be imported due to the prevailing moral climate. The successor to "Tulsa" and "Teenage Lust", it continues the notorious photographer/director's fascination with the American teen through wall-to-wall photos, collages, video stills and re-photographed press clippings - most of which are previously unpublished. Highly voyeuristic in nature, there is no shortage here of sex, violence, skateboarders and Matt Dillon! A brand new, most handsome example of the uncommon true first edition (cited on page 245 of Alessandro Bertolotti's "Books of Nudes") issued by Larry Clark Books in association with Thea Westreich. PLEASE NOTE: Due to the explicit nature of some of the content here, you must be at least eighteen years of age to order this item. 0-302-00644-3 Inventory Number: 020754

    SURFING PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THE EIGHTIES TAKEN BY JEFF DIVINE - SIGNED AND INSCRIBED BY THE PHOTOGRAPHER

    (DIVINE, JEFF). Divine, Jeff. Introduction by Scott Hulet. Santa Barbara, CA: T. Adler Books, 2011. First Edition. Oblong 4to. Pictorial Boards in Jacket. Photography Monograph. As New/As New. 96pp, 94 color illustrations. Designed by Tom Adler. "On the heels of 2006's hugely popular "Surfing Photographs from the Seventies", T. Adler Books now releases the companion volume, "Surfing Photographs from the Eighties Taken by Jeff Divine". The 1980s were a tumultuous period in surf history, as the "everything's groovy" communalism of the previous decade was blown apart into splinter groups. Professionals, rebels, punks, and world travelers all banged the drum for their personal vision of surfing. The result was loud, vivid, and drenched in fluorescence and neon. Photographer Jeff Divine was on the case, documenting the changes from surfing's twin power poles: Southern California and the north shore of Oahu. Divine's access to these scenes, earned from fifteen years on the sand and in the water, infuse this volume with authenticity as an insider look into the period's most definitive moments". A brand new, most handsome example of the 2011 first edition in the publisher's unprinted frosted plastic jacket additionally BOLDLY INSCRIBED by Jeff Divine" in black marker. 1-935202-44-8 Inventory Number: 024710

    DORA LIVES: THE AUTHORIZED STORY OF MIKI DORA - THE DELUXE BOXED ESTATE-STAMPED EDITION OF FIVE HUNDRED COPIES WITH A 5 X 7" PHOTOGRAPH

    (DORA, MIKI "MICKEY"). Kampion, Drew & Craig Stecyk III. Foreword By Steve Pezman. Tom Adler, Editor. Santa Barbara, CA: T. Adler Books, 2005. First Edition 1/500 Deluxe. Small Oblong 4to. 1/4 Cloth Over Boards in Box. Photography Monograph. As New/As New. 137pp, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. Designed by Tom Adler. With the 2002 passing of Miki "Da Cat" Dora, the surfing world lost one of its most talented, charismatic, and controversial innovators. A legend of Malibu lore since the late '50s, Dora helped to create and simultaneously revile the "Gidget"/"Beach Party" California surfing explosion of the '60s, then turned his back to the 'Bu and the world of competitive wave riding to travel the world, often just a step or two ahead of law. Initiated by Miki Dora himself, this loving tribute to the legendary enigma by noted designer/art director/publisher/surfing aficionado Tom Adler is very much in the same vein as Adler's previous deluxe editions on Don James and Tom Blake. It reproduces vintage images and screen captures of Dora by Joe Quigg, Leroy Grannis, Grant Rohloff, Don James, Pat Darrin, Peter Gowland and many others along with biographical texts by Drew Kampion, Craig Stecyk III and Steve Pezman; transcribed interviews, ramblings, and reprinted writings from "Surfer" magazine (including the full "Million Days to Darkness" from 1989!) in an elegantly produced package that was authorized by Miki's family and estate. A brand new, pristine example in the publisher's shrinkwrap of the deluxe edition limited to five hundred copies in a pictorial sliding box that includes a 5 x 7" Lambda print of Dora in action taken from a film by Grant Rohloff, NUMBERED AND SIGNED by Tom Adler with the stamp of the Mickey Dora estate on the rear colophon, as issued. 1-890481-18-1 Inventory Number: 021107

    Hugh Holland: “That shot was one of several I did on the street, at Balboa Island, in the summer of 1975, just as I was beginning the Skate series. I was shooting some kids that were hot-dogging on the street on the sidelines of a small skate contest. I had no idea who they were. A few years later, someone saw them and asked if I knew who that kid was. I said no. He said it was Danny Kwock, who went on in the eighties to be a top surfer in the Newport area, and surfed for Quicksilver. Now he is the president of Quicksilver entertainment. He is a very cool guy.”

    THE SWIMMING POOL: PHOTOGRAPHS 2007-2015 - SIGNED BY DEANNA TEMPLETON

    (TEMPLETON, DEANNA). Templeton, Deanna & Ed Templeton. Davenport, CA: Um Yeah Arts, 2016. Second Edition. 4to. Pictorial Boards. Photography Monograph. As New/No Jacket - As Issued.

    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.
