He lives in New York City. ==Biography== As a child Friedman skateboarded in the West Los Angeles schoolyards of Santa Monica, California. Whilst in junior high school,〔 in the fall of 1976, Friedman corralled some of his friends, who were beginning to be featured in magazines, into riding in an empty swimming pool so he could take pictures. He showed the results to a freelance ''SkateBoarder'' writer, who put Friedman in touch with the editor. ''SkateBoarder'' published photographs by Friedman as a full-page subscription advertisement. He soon after became their youngest staff member.〔 Several years later Friedman began to photograph at punk shows. Black Flag received some of their first media documentation through Friedman's work.〔(''Fuck You Heroes'' ) Introduction by C.R. Stecyk III〕 In 1981 he photographed his first record album cover, ''Adolescents'' by Adolescents.〔"(The Adolescents )", Artistdirect. Accessed 13 June 2015.〕 Friedman's first, self-published punk zine, ''My Rules: Photozine'' (1982), sold 10,000 copies and was the largest selling zine of the era. Friedman managed punk band Suicidal Tendencies〔〔 and in 1983 produced their eponymous debut album.〔 In 1985 Friedman was introduced to Rick Rubin and Russell Simmons, after creating some memorable Beastie Boys photos, before they were widely known. Friedman began working with them and their newly formed Def Jam Records, promoting Beastie Boys, LL Cool J, Public Enemy,〔 Ice T and Run-DMC.〔 He also shot their publicity material and album covers,〔 including the covers of Beastie Boys’ ''Check Your Head'', Public Enemy’s ''It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back'' and Minor Threat’s ''Salad Days.'' Many of his photographs have become recognized as the subjects' definitive portraits.〔(''Warp magazine'' ), February 1995 – ''Glen E. Friedman – Photos from the Edge'' by Ian Christie.〕 In 1987 he relocated back to New York. Friedman has collaborated with artist Shepard Fairey, many times, including limited edition prints based on Friedman's photographs. In 2004 Friedman created the "Liberty Street Protest" at Ground Zero in New York City. Its provocative anti-war sentiment received attention internationally. It was "re-visited" in 2010 in support of Freedom of Religion, and the placement of a mosque a few blocks away from Ground Zero in New York City. In 2012 Friedman was inducted as an "Icon" into the Skateboarding Hall of Fame.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Glen E. Friedman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
