Or Glory by Horst A Friedrichs

The beautiful books keep coming. Or Glory is a 176-page photography hardback using colour and mono to document the current state of the Rocker lifestyle. There's a mixture of revivalists - like Hiro from Lewis Leathers, Sarah B and Jake - and slowly decomposing original rockers. This lifestyle and imagery has been photographed countless times (not least by Ben Part during his time shooting the Mean Fuckers) and a lot of Friedrichs' images come across like deja vu. This is the problem with depicting a scene that is defined by its unchanging style - of both dress and bikes.
But the quality of photography is great and the print quality is excellent. The best shots (for me) are the ones away from the bikes - the ones taken in pubs, clubs, bedrooms and dance halls. GI
