Bøger af Ted Glasso

A collection of the best photographic work by a photographic voice that's been around for for 50 years and predicted in 1969 that photography will be included as an art form and that he sees himself as such an artist, but his work has not been seen ever since he started back in 1967.

This is the body of work that launched Ted Glasso in 1969, as a seventeen year-old teenager to conceive of photographically told stories, shot candidly. He began referring to the process as Strips and after he moved away from New York and began to analyze his work closer. What emerged was a collection of candid images shot as sequences, which he continued to execute whenever he travels to a new busy city.

The works of Ted Glasso have never been exhibited officially, or published. Yet he has been creating photographic images for over fifty years.The series will present painters, photographers sculptors and graphic artists. This book explores the earliest collection of images created by Ted Glasso on the streets of New York, between the years 1969 and 1971. The only exception, a self-portrait on page 85, which was shot in 1978.He calls his unique manner of storyboard-like method of multiple shots then assembled to tell a story STRIPS. His earliest shots were all candid and executed in real time. Thus they also qualify as being Documentary Photographs. The subject of life on the streets New York fascinated from the first moment he heard that it can be done legally if it was to be published as works of art.Earlier, while still in high school he predicted that photography would become as accepted as any of the other mediums practiced in the fine arts; as a full-pledged art medium in its own right, just as lithographs and etchings, or paintings. He saw the handwriting on the wall, yet he did not pursue it for himself. Why? You will ask, because he became involved in earning a living, and the realities of life dictated otherwise. Also, Ted Glasso is a pen name he had selected not too long ago and has decided that it would serve him better in his writing and photography.So far he has written a Young Adults urban science fiction novel, (the first in a series of four) and two children's picture books that he illustrated as well. The first, titled Johnny Be Good, is about an American Bald Eagle that's hatched in a hen house and doesn't know he's an eagle until he discovers that he's really different from all the other birds there. Thus the theme of self-discovery. The second book is about two frogs that become close friends and go on adventures.Photography was Ted's first love and will remain unshaken in this position.
