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.

Highly voyeuristic in nature, there is no shortage here of sex, violence, skateboarders and Matt Dillon!

LIQUID HORIZON: MEDITATIONS ON THE SURF AND SEA
(FULLER, DANNY). Rizzoli, I00210422, 2021. 9 x 11 in., 208 pages. Hardbound. New/No Jacket - As Issued.
Sensual, meditative, and powerfully evocative photographic studies of the ocean by professional surfer Danny Fuller.
Danny Fuller's work as a photographer and artist is best understood through his thirty years as a professional surfer. Fuller who is known for riding the waves of North Shore Oahu's famous Pipeline and Maui's treacherous Jaws sees and experiences the ocean in ways intimate and infinite.
Fuller's nocturnal seascapes of the worlds most savage and beautiful waves, all captured exclusively by moonlight with slow exposures, share the soulful beauty of the ocean, in meditative, painterly studies of subtle changes of light and color. In the tradition of artists drawn to the sea for inspiration, Fuller expresses a surfer's deep spiritual connection to the ocean and to the meaning of consequence in surfing. The sensual allure of blue mixed with the ominous presence of water, whose scale is epic, reminds us just how minuscule and insignificant we are relative to the powers of the sea. 9780847869961 Inventory Number: I00210422 -

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.”

DEANNA TEMPLETON: WHAT SHE SAID - SIGNED BY THE PHOTOGRAPHER

'All I look forward to is the weekends, and sometimes they suck just as bad as the week does. God it’s so god damn boring!! When I wake up in the morning I feel like I’m 99 years old!! I’m so tired and lazy and unhappy. I’m only 15 years old, what’s wrong with me, why am I so UNhappy? This world is so fucked! People are so fucked! I’m so fucked or as my brother would say "Your a freak!"'What She Said takes its title from a song by The Smiths: “What she said was sad / But then, all the rejection she’s had / To pretend to be happy / Could only be idiocy.” The work originates in portraits Deanna Templeton made on the streets of the US, Europe, Australia and Russia, in which she captured women in their adolescence: punks and outcasts whose ripped jeans and tights, tattoos, and hairstyles stand as testament to this transitional moment in their lives as they navigate the intensity of teenage life. Templeton grew up in an ostensibly different environment in 1980s youth, but she recognised in them something of the universality of female adolescence, as they struggled with similar disappointments and challenges she encountered as a young woman. The book combines these modern portraits with gig flyers and Templeton’s own teenage journal entries from the mid to late 80s, in which the familiar experience of growing up is laid bare in all its antagonism, humour and pathos.
A brand new, most handsome example of this awesome, already out of print book additionally SIGNED "Deanna Templeton" in black marker.Inventory Number: I00210220

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 -

"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".
