RECOGNIZE photographs by GLEN E. FRIEDMAN (based on images from the book) 2005
This is a slide show of the images from Glen E. Friedman’s most recent book. This is the first of all of his books to not use anything from his past archives of infamous iconic images. It is based solely upon his most recent artistic studies and ambition.

"Glen E. Friedman's mission with RECOGNIZE is no less than 're-aligning the aesthetic' or demolishing and then re-making the rules by which we view and understand art... The re-introduction of sight into art-making and art-seeing, away from purely conceptual in-jokes and toward formal problems of light, composition and beauty. Just as Renaissance artists re-introduced the classical world's honesty and discipline to art-making, Friedman restores picture-taking to its primary and vital function: composition of the natural world, combined with a sense of wonder at the magnificence of what is all around us." - Ian Folke Svenonius, 2005
“It's customary nowadays to claim we "distrust beauty" because it has betrayed us. In fact the reverse is true: our culture betrays beauty and then blames it for its lack of depth. On this edge Glen's work is dancing - hence its vertiginousness, its touch of vertigo. Real beauty is always serious." - Peter Lamborn Wilson, 2005

It was among the fastest, most efficient production cars ever built. It ran on electricity, produced no emissions and catapulted American technology to the forefront of the automotive industry. The lucky few who drove it never wanted to give it up. So, WHO KILLED THE ELECTRIC CAR? This is an incredibly important film for all Americans to see.
