Friedman\u003c\/em\u003e is an incredible compilation of all of Friedman's most iconic and recognisable images (from 1980 to 1983), of this seminal American punk band, as well as over one hundred never-before-seen photos made during those phenomenal peak years in the group's history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book includes a foreword by Chuck Dukowski, a co-founder and bass player of Black Flag. Friedman's own introduction to the book takes readers through his journey with the group, from the very first time he heard their music, to his perspectives on the music of the era, to the how, why, and what Black Flag was doing at the time. His words provide additional context to the imagery, explaining what drove him to create his art alongside the band.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the streets around Black Flag's single-room home base\/office, rehearsing for their first album, handing out flyers, wheat-pasting posters, driving for hours to a show and returning the same night, house parties, clubs, to the big stage and the beach, Glen E.

In \u003cem\u003eWhat I See,\u003c\/em\u003e he shares with us and inspires us with these images that were made over an incredibly volatile four-year time span.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471929065708,"sku":"9781636140360","price":75.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781636140360-what-i-see-the-black-flag-photographs-of-glen-e-friedman.jpg?v=1775263092"},{"product_id":"dogtown-by-glen-e-friedman-9781617756993","title":"DogTown","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDogTown: The Legend of the Z-Boys\u003c\/em\u003e is a stunning book that blends historic words and reports with a photo archive that has a golden shelf in the annals of skateboarding. -\u003cem\u003eSurferToday\u003c\/em\u003e, One of the Best Skateboard Books of All Time\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the early 1970s, the sport of skateboarding had so waned from its popularity in the 1960s that it was virtually nonexistent. In the DogTown area of west Los Angeles, a group of young surfers known as the Zephyr Team (Z-Boys) was experimenting with new and radical moves and styles in the water, which they translated to the street. When competition skateboarding returned in 1975, the Z-Boys turned the skating world on its head. \u003cem\u003eDogTown: The Legend of the Z-Boys\u003c\/em\u003e is a truly fascinating case study of how an underground sport ascended in the world. These are the stories and images of a time that not only inspired a generation but changed the face of the sport forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis volume has been described as \"the DogTown textbook\" and an indispensable companion piece to the Sony Pictures Classics film \u003cem\u003eDogtown and Z-Boys\u003c\/em\u003e. Now spanning 1975–1985 and beyond, the first section of the book includes the best of the DogTown articles written and photographed by C.R. Stecyk III as they originally appeared in \u003cem\u003eSkateBoarder Magazine\u003c\/em\u003e. The second half compiles hundreds of skate images from the archives of Glen E. Friedman—many of which appear in the movie.
