- Skateboarding in California 1975-1978
258,95 kr. One afternoon in 1975, a young photographer named Hugh Holland drove up Laurel Canyon Boulevard in Los Angeles and encountered skateboarders carving up the drainage ditches along the side of the canyon. Immediately transfixed by their grace and athleticism, he knew he had found an amazing subject. Although not a skateboarder himself, for the next three years Holland never tired of documenting skateboarders surfing the streets of Los Angeles, parts of the San Fernando Valley, Venice Beach, and as far away as San Francisco and Baja California, Mexico.During the mid-1970s, Southern California was experiencing a serious drought, leaving an abundance of empty swimming pools available for trespassing skateboarders to practice their tricks. From these suburban backyard haunts to the asphalt streets that connected them, this was the place that created the legendary Dogtown and Z-Boys skateboarders. With their requisite bleached blonde hair, tanned bodies, tube socks and Vans, these young outsiders are masterfully captured against a sometimes harsh but always sunny Southern California landscape in LOCALS ONLY.Holland's skateboard photographs were first shown at M+B Gallery in Los Angeles in 2006. Following the success of the show, his work has been shown in Paris and New York City and used in American Apparel publicity campaigns. Holland resides in Los Angeles.

628,95 kr. Enigmatic photographer Elmo Tide has photographed odd and intriguing characters of late-night revelry for the past decade. Preferring to remain completely anonymous in order to keep the focus on his work and not on himself, he publishes his photographs under his arbitrarily invented pseudonym of bizarre misdirection. Tide works usually under the cover of nightfall, composing high-contrast black-and-white mise-en-scènes that appear almost as if they're from a different era, as if “Robert Frank and Fellini [went] to the carnival” (NPR). The images often include vestiges of old Americana, yet they’re shot entirely in Los Angeles, revealing a different, darker side of the city than most people may be used to seeing. The cinematic, decisive moments he captures on the streets of Hollywood and in dimly lit theaters of Los Angeles focus on a wide variety of individuals and archetypes, including wrestlers, dwarfs, strippers, policemen, and cowboys, many of whom range in age from the very young to the very old. His pictures are a testament to what can be accomplished solely with 35mm film, a normal lens, and practical lighting. He achieves a mysterious chiaroscuro and highlights people in surreal situations, which sometimes appear even stranger than reality—yet, they’re all captured, documented moments from the real world, and nothing is staged. Truly one of the most unique voices to emerge in street photography, AMMO Books is proud to release his eponymous first monograph.

288,95 kr. Baja California is extreme. It is a strip of desert and cacti more than a thousand miles long, with the Pacific on one side and the Sea of Cortez on the other. Swept by strong winds, battered by giant waves, seared by the blistering summers, and surrounded by a sea rich in fish, it is nothing if not unique.This gastronomic and photographic adventure enables us to explore Baja California and its cuisine, a synthesis of traditional Mexican cooking and powerful influences coming from the American Southwest. For those who love pungent dishes, with chili packing a powerful punch, there is no place in the world better than Mexico. Burritos, huevos rancheros, guacamole, and tacos are dishes that everyone craves; and revisited in a Southern Californian key they become the cornerstones of a frontier region often neglected and, for this very reason, all the more authentic.
