    Ed Templeton’s Unsparing Photographic Diary of Skateboarding Life

    Templeton’s images, taken between 1995 and 2012, capture the intimacy and aimlessness of being on tour.

    Templeton’s book is unsparing but nonjudgmental. The damage accumulates slowly, as what seems at first like youthful fun grows more uneasy. Young female fans lift up their shirts to get their torsos autographed; a skater chops lines of cocaine; just about everyone bleeds, especially Templeton, who says he has suffered six serious concussions over the years, not all of which he remembers. (In this world, helmets are not merely optional—they are effectively banned.)

  • B: Q & A with Ed Templeton

    http://blakeandrews.blogspot.com/2020/10/q-with-ed-templeton.html
    SO, that leads to the answer. I think I am drawn to anything that is interesting to me, mostly people and how they present themselves and act. I trust my eye and sensibilities as I walk around to guide me. I probably err on the side of being a tad cynical. I like shooting people most. I think that is the hardest kind of photo to take, so I enjoy the rush of getting close and seeing and and trying to compose and capture a little slice of reality that can transcend the moment and tell a story on its own. Although I’m sure many of mine do not succeed on that level, and of course they are open to varying interpretations, that’s the idea.

    Juxtapoz Magazine – Radio Juxtapoz Podcast, ep 20: Ed and Deanna Templeton on What Makes the Tokyo Streets So Magical

    A few weeks back, Radio Juxtapoz traveled to Tokyo, Japan for the RVCA World Tour, a 7-day takeover of the city that saw numerous art shows, signings, screenings, pop-ups occur in and around Shibuya. Obviously, our focus was the Beautiful Losers: Now & Then show, and it gave us a chance to talk with two of our favorite photographers: the talented and influential Ed and Deanna Templeton. Ed Templeton has been blazed across our memories as a legendary skater who was able to take his skate craft and create fine art and photography that has made him famous the world over. Deanna Templeton has been making these incredibly poetic projects for years, with her The Swimming Pool coming to mind first and foremost.

    Interview: Ed Templeton’s Wayward Cognitions

    Ed Templeton has spent the last twenty years documenting youth culture from the streets. A former professional skateboarder, Ed’s interest in photography and art was driven, in part, by the founding of his company Toy Machine. This year, Templeton released Wayward Cognitions (Um Yeah Arts). Here, Templeton talks about diving into his immense archives for the new book and the things that catch his eye on his daily photo missions.

    Ed Templeton: Plastic Plant Places at Photomonth

    Robert Frank said “Black and White is the color of photography” and I really like that statement. I think taking out the color gives a photo a timeless quality. I think color can ruin a perfectly well composed photo, and conversely color can sometimes raise a mediocre photo into a beautiful one. I just like uniformity and the starkness

    In 1994 I had a realization that not many people get to live the sort of life I was living as a pro skater and wanted to document it from the inside

    My photography has not changed very much over the years. I’ve been resisting technology and sticking to the same thing. The biggest change for me would be adding a 28mm lens into the mix because I’ve been mostly a straight black and white 50 mm lens photographer since the beginning. That’s the classic street setup. I was just out today shooting with a 50mm with no filters, no bells and whistles, no frills — just a straight Leica M6, 50mm lens, and black-and-white film, Tri-X. I hope they keep making it!

  • AMERICANSUBURB X: ED TEMPLETON: "Deformer and the Will to Not Be F-cked…"

    crying with write 575 437.jpg

    Eleven years in the making and compiling more than 30 years of material, Ed Templeton’s scrapbook of his upbringing in suburban Orange County California is a much-anticipated book. Its photographs give a sun-drenched glimpse of what it might be like to be young and alive in the “suburban domestic incubator” of Orange County, conveyed in the idiom of Nan Goldin or Larry Clark (and with a sharp eye for the streets that recalls Garry Winogrand or Eugene Richards).
