Teenagers Kissing by Ed Templeton

Tkk_04

This could be seen as cool or very awkard depending on your experience. Skateboarder/artist Ed Templeton has just finished compiling his new book "Teenage Kisses" on Seems Books.  For me this is reminds how awkward being a teenager is but the pictures are very punk and have that urban style you would expect to see from an artist like Ed.  

From the publisher:

..Today in the Flickr generation, photographs of young kids in wild and rebellious situations come a dime a dozen. The internet is chocked full of these images, usually shot and shared between small groups of friends and existing on a myriad of random Tumblr and Facebook pages. Never before in history have we lived in a society where the personal documentation of peoples’ private lives has been so public. However, when Ed Templeton began shooting these photos of young people kissing this was not the case at all. The worldwide web was only in its infancy and the word “blog” had not yet even been invented. Photography of this nature was restricted to few practitioners, and existed in a rarified world young fans and art aficionados. It should be noted that while in today’s climate these images may feel standard, at the time they were being created Templeton was surely an innovator. His images spread through youth culture like wildfire, and in many ways one could blame the young photo-blog explosion partly on the fact that he took these photographs when he did.

 


 


 

The MacBook Air sleeve I should be using

Leathersleeve-1_1
I love Hard Graft.  I dream of Hard Graft.  Now that I carry this slick MacBook Air I feel I need this to protect it.  Retro-inspired by the first ever laptop sleeve they designed and handcrafted back in the day, this design picks up on the original idea of a premium, super soft leather laptop sleeve lined with rich British woven wool.  On the other hand at €189.00, I think it will have to wait even if it is limited edition.

You should buy this if you have the spare shrapnel in your pocket.
