Wires Crossed — Ed Templeton. Published by Aperture.
I am embarrassed to say that I am still new to Templeton's work, and found this book fully engaging and full of rich but gritty poetry. Narrating his life on the road as a professional skater, it works as both a memoir of a young artist and a retrospective of a mid-career artist, and all developed with a simple and passionate approach to storytelling.
