Fuck You Too: Extras + More Scrapbook

by Glen E. Friedman

Never content to rest on his laurels, Friedman reopened his vast photo files after the publication of Fuck You Heroes, and before long a second book was Fuck You Too- The Extras and More. The title sums it up perfectly. With Fuck You Heroes being a serious document of a specific time and group of subjects, this book is a looser, wider collection of Glen's shots featuring approximately 350 mostly colour images of the pioneers, iconoclasts and madmen of skateboarding, punk and rap. Each shot captures an honest, intimate moment of power from the likes of Minor Threat, Black Flag, Tony Alva, Germs, Run DMC, TSOL, The Ramones, Public Enemy and many more.

About the author

Glen E. Friedman, (Born 1962) considered one of the most important photographers of his generation, became well known for working with such rebellious artists as Fugazi, Black Flag, Ice-T, Dead Kennedys, Minor Threat, Misfits, Bad Brains, Beastie Boys, Run-D.M.C, KRS-1, and Public Enemy, as well as old school skateboarders like: Tony Alva, Jay Adams, Alan "Ollie" Gelfand, Duane Peters, and Stacy Peralta, among others. Many of his photographs are recognized as the subjects' definitive portraits. His graphic documents of the movement in culture reveal the science of defiance upon which all are based. Friedman's photos reflect the spirit of progression and angst that defined an era. Not only was he in the right places at an extraordinary number of appropriate times, Friedman has helped define the moment and movements he was caught up in. His process was much more incendiary than it was documentary. According to Henry Rollins "The bottom line is that he was there at the beginning of so much cool stuff in so many different areas it's not funny."

"Inspiring people, with integrity and rebelliousness."

For the past quarter century, Friedman has been doing just that.

- Los Angeles Times

"One of the greats of his generation."

- Washington Post

"The most prolific photographer of his generation."

- American Institute of Graphic Arts

"The esoteric political and aesthetic conscience of his generation..."

- Juxtapoz magazine

Glen E. Friedman's captivating images demonstrate his remarkable eye for raw reality, talent and aesthetic beauty. He is, without doubt, one of this generation's most discerning and important photographers, Friedman has documented like no one else.

Reviews

[Tim Hecklinski]

This is sort of the "outtakes" of "Fuck You Heros". There's some great shots in here as well, but see the review for "Heros" first. If you buy one, buy them both.
