If you're in LA this weekend, head downtown to sixspace tomorrow night for the world premiere of The Idealist by Glen E. Friedman. The new book (which is totally gorgeous — I fondled one of the first copies a few weeks ago) gathers images spanning 25 years of Friedman's fine-art photography.
"Though he continues a heavy focus on both imagery and message, only a few of his traditional photographs of legendary people in the hip-hop, punk and skate communities will be recognized. The Idealist traces Friedman's development as a fine-artist as his subject matter includes a breathtaking international scope of landscapes, still life, and documentary."
