The Golden Age of Neglect is a classic example of Ed Templeton s work which is deeply anchored in urban life, street style, music, and graphic culture. A fixture of the Los Angeles skateboarding scene, Ed Templeton has been producing photographs documenting his life story and encounters in the skateboarding world for over 10 years, his vision crosses the realms of art, sports, sex, drugs, violence, fashion, and youth. He is a skater, an artist, and a unique product of his environment. In The Golden Age of Neglect he presents an exclusive view into his world. There are teenage smokers and drinkers. There are those whose despondence is clearly evident as they confront the camera with vacant eyes. Fueled by incredible raw energy, irreverence, and spontaneity, his work is comprised of an extraodinary number of photographs and canvases, as well as a body of graphic work from drawings, sketchbooks, and collages to montage and correspondence. The book is a reprint of the original version, which quickly rose to cult status shortly after its release in 2003.
