Ed Templeton: Tangentially Parenthetical

Afterword by Ed Templeton.

Ed Templeton: Tangentially Parenthetical

Wonder and wit meet in Templeton's unflinching photographs

Tangentially Parenthetical is a selection of photographs from Ed Templeton's vast street photography archive—curated, arranged and then rearranged by the man himself. The next chapter to his previous book of photos (Wayward Cognitions, 2014), Tangentially Parenthetical picks up where the latter collection ended. By combining intimate, accidental and unconnected moments into one linear piece of work, he tells hundreds of new stories through the thoughtful arrangement of semi-related yet completely unfastened imagery. "I'm out there shooting photos all the time that don't necessarily fall under any theme other than general life," says Templeton, "which is a lame title for a book." With a wink to the absurd, sandwiched between a cover of patterned parentheses and with an afterword built from his own stream-of-consciousness storytelling, Templeton delivers a visual mountain from an archive of stunning molehills—the images are carefully chosen, shuffled by hand and laid out with the dueling impulses of wonder and wit.

Born in 1972 and raised in the suburbs of Orange County, California, Ed Templeton is a painter, photographer and a respected cult figure in the subculture of skateboarding. His work has been exhibited worldwide.


"Anaheim, California" (2015) is reproduced from 'Ed Templeton: Tangentially Parenthetical.'

PRAISE AND REVIEWS

New York Magazine

The title comes from the fact that the only theme connecting the images, which sprawl across time and location, is Templeton’s stream-of-consciousness style of storytelling and ability to capture wit, wonder, and humor in what he calls “general life".

Holiday Gift Staff Pick 'Ed Templeton: Tangentially Parenthetical' is NEW from Um Yeah Arts

Featured photograph, made in London, England, 2010, is reproduced from Ed Templeton: Tangentially Parenthetical, the new release from Um Yeah Arts. "We get such a small sample size from which to glean an understanding," Templeton writes, "and at every twist and turn there's a carnival barker distracting us, a quack extolling the virtues of their miracle cure, or a religious zealot offering a shortcut to the pearly gates—all for a small fee, of course… The truth is at our fingerprints, yet we lack the dexterity to crack open the thick husk of misinformation surrounding it."

Tangentially Parenthetical is an anti-thematic compilation of photographs from Ed Templeton’s vast back stock of street photography—curated, arranged, and then rearranged by the man himself. A slight jump-off from his most recent book of photos (Wayward Cognitions, 2014), Tangentially Parenthetical picks up where Templeton’s previous collection ended. By combining the intimate, the accidental, and the unconnected into one linear piece of work, he tells hundreds of new stories through the thoughtful arrangement of semi-related, yet completely unfastened imagery.
