Glen E. Friedman is one of the most influential photographers of his time. As a child, he loved to skateboard in the West Los Angeles where he grew up. But his career in photography began in 1976 when he got some friends to skateboard in an empty swimming pool. After contacting SkateBoarder, his photos were published in ads. Still, in high school, he became the youngest staff member in the company.
In the eighties, he began photographing punk bands, and from there, his career only flourished, and in 2012 he was inducted as an Icon into the Skateboarding Hall of Fame. To honor his photography, let's take a look at some of his most amazing, prominent photos.

Let us introduce you to the Listicle Liege, the Article Aficionado, the one and only Nathan. Since creating his first photo collage at the age of five with images clipped from his mom’s Chatelaine magazines (all of them), it’s been nearly impossible to stem this one’s tide of visual learning. Be it the annals of history or the latest celeb gossip, Nathan has probably researched it, likely already has a folder of relevant photos on his desktop, and definitely learned a lot of interesting facts to go with those images. Whereas most well-read adults have bookshelves full of classic literature, Nathan’s stacks are composed of National Geographic and TIME special editions and a curated section of first-grade readers (for inspiration). If you prefer picture books to wordy novels, listicles by Nathan are right up your alley.
