+ Anthony Friedkin "The Surfing Essay" opening reception 6- 10 pm @ drkrm 727 S. Spring Street Los Angeles, CA 90014
Much of the essay was shot in the 1970’s, a particular time in the evolvement of surfing where lifestyles amongst surfers were wild and reckless, especially in Malibu and Venice. Many of the photos were shot during the “Dog Town” era, in Venice beach, then know at the time for it’s stark, decayed community and toughness. These are not your typical Southern California golden haired, perfectly tanned surfers standing with their board at sunset. These are warriors of the waves, at times intoxicated and high. In the tradition of Danny Lyon, these edgy, black & white photographs challenge our sense of what’s going on within this certain subculture at a particular time in Southern California history.

"I started photographing my friends and then friends of friends and eventually I traveled all over the country making pictures. Via the Internet, I was able to connect with this large but unseen network of men who share similar sensibilities. I identify with these men physically, emotionally and spiritually. I wanted to show the strength, integrity and personalities of the individuals I was fortunate enough to capture."

Her extraordinarily vivid images are also a testimony to her eye for form and composition
