548 pp, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. "I began the Year Zero Lockdown Journal on March 20th, 2020. On the first day I took my bicycle and camera and rode through the empty, silent streets of Los Angeles. Everything looked the same, but everything was completely different. I took photos and came back and wrote about it. And I kept it up for next twelve months, through our personal and collective isolation, through the ups and downs of the pandemic, the slow, halting opening of society, the politicization of the virus, the George Floyd protests, the elections, the Stop-the-Steal movement, and the storming of the Capital. Covid-19 was beyond anything we thought possible or could even imagine. It's the stuff of science fiction and dystopian nightmares. But the writers and doomsayers were right. And here we are. Each of us who have lived through Year Zero have our own stories to tell. This, in photographs and texts, is mine." Published by Artvoices Books, "Year Zero - Lockdown Journal" features two beautifully packaged hardcover books in a slipcase subtitled, "Spring & Summer" and "Fall & Winter."Richard Edson has been acting in films for nearly forty years, appearing in over one hundred movies and television shows. His more notable roles include a disreputable parking garage attendant in Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986), Desperately Seeking Susan (1985), Howard the Duck (1986), Jim Jarmusch's cult film Stranger Than Paradise (1984), Eight Men Out, and Joey Breaker (1993). He also appeared in Platoon (1986), Good Morning, Vietnam (1987), Tougher Than Leather (1988), Let It Ride (1989), and Do the Right Thing (1989). He starred in the 1993 movie Super Mario Bros as Spike (1987). As a photographer he has had four solo exhibitions in Los Angeles and has been in countless group exhibits. He has also appeared in Juxtapose, Puta, and The Propagandist magazines and photography assignments for Wax Poetics and American Apparel, and many others. Until recently he had a monthly photo spread / column in the Los Angeles downtown arts magazine, Citizen LA. In addition to acting and photography he was a founding member and first drummer for the seminal art rock band Sonic Youth, and drummer / trumpet player for the legendary New York Afro-dance band, Konk.

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.”

JASON LEE: IN THE GOLD DUST RUSH - SIGNED BY THE PHOTOGRAPHER
(LEE, JASON). Lee, Jason. Stanley / Barker, I00210204, 2020. First Edition. 10 x 11 in., 112 pages. Hardbound. Photography Monograph. New/No Jacket - As Issued.
For the past fourteen years, artist, actor and skateboarder Jason Lee has traversed America making quiet, reflective photographs detailing the landscape and its oft-overlooked and forgotten places.
His new book "In The Gold Dust Rush" draws together eighty-four never before published black and white photographs from the last twelve of those years into a meandering journey from the mountains to the city.
“Since my first photographic outings in my native California in 2006, where I explored a more rural, perhaps neglected face of the state, and the many subsequent outings zigzagging through the West Coast, the Southwest, and Texas, I remain fascinated by these American scraps, by evidence of cancellation and departure, and the environmental contradictions that make up our collective everyday view. These conflicts, at once strange and beautiful, this is where the questions are. It’s then and now splitting time, man and nature pushing up against each other, and progress forever forcing itself on the contented. And somewhere in the middle you make pictures.” Jason Lee

112pp, profusely illustrated in b&w. "The pictures in Jason Lee’s forthcoming monograph were made in the summer of 2017 on a drive from his then adopted home state of Texas to Los Angeles, where he’d lived prior and from where he set out to start photographing from the road in 2006."For the past fourteen years, artist, actor, and skateboarder Jason Lee has traversed America making quiet, reflective photographs detailing the landscape and its oft-overlooked and forgotten places. TX | CA 17 is the first time Lee has published images from a single outing. They are presented in geographical and (rough) chronological order - North Texas, NM, AZ, the California desert, and finally DTLA, where we see the gentleman awaiting his bus. The exposures were made primarily along and surrounding Highways 287, 40/66, 62, and 10."
“Many of these places I’ve come to know quite well, with some documented frequently before and since this particular drive. It’s always a pleasure revisiting the familiar—these somehow comforting landmarks; these reminders—and equally exciting to discover new sights, make new pictures, and collect new memories. So you keep going. After sixteen years of photographing outside, I remain fascinated by the American landscape and all its parts both beautiful and curious.” - Jason LeeInventory Number: E000JLCATX

ED TEMPLETON: TANGENTIALLY PARENTHETICAL
(TEMPLETON, ED). Templeton, Ed. Davenport, CA: Um Yeah Arts, 2018. First Edition. 4to. Illustrated Boards. Photography Monograph. As New/No Jacket - As Issued. 160pp, Profusely illustrated in b&w and color. Designed by Ed 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, most handsome example still in the publisher's shrinkwrap. 978-1942884323 Inventory Number: E000ETTP -
