    We have limited stock of three small photography books that focus on archive footage from 1970s Britain. The Triumph Workers Lock-In 1974 shows a little-known period in the famous brand's history, when a workers' co-operative took over the ailing firm to try save it from closure. It's liimited to 250 copies of the first edition and we got the last handful. The other two, the Raw Punk Streets and Mods and Rockers Raw Streets show street photography, and the rank and file of th

    Kansas by Scott Toepfer

    Regular Sideburn contributor, ace photographer and all-round good egg, Scott Toepfer travelled out to the Kansas Fairgrounds a few years back, to race and shoot photos. The original project the photos were taken for went dusty on a shelf, but now the images see the light of day thanks to Muerte, who have published then in a limited edition, 28-page book. I interviewed Scott about the project and photography in general. GI When and where does this series of shots come from? Th

    Tim Page // Danger Close

    I had the pleasure of meeting Tim Page recently (see SB30). He is still very much larger than life and as rebellious as all fuck! The Leica you see in this photo is the same camera he used to record the Vietnam War. I didn't get many opportunities to really sit down and hear his 'war stories' but the few times we did chat I was either in awe or stitches, he is a great storyteller and still loves his photography. Tim now lives in Australia and I believe there's a documentary o

    Speed by Horst Friedrichs

    When a relevant book catches my fancy I love buying a few to shift through our online shop. Why? I love books. The latest is SPEED, a heavyweight hardback photography tome by London-based German photographer, and sometime Sideburn collaborator, Horst Friedrichs. The book's cover image is Dimitri Coste taken at one of our Dirt Quake events. This is what Horst says... 'The SPEED book is an summation-celebration of my journeys into British subcultures : mods, rockers, cyclists,

    Stefano Zardini

    Some days ago we lost Stefano Zardini, the Italian photographer, filmmaker and artist, who was featured in 'Inferno Fangoso' in SB #14. I’d like to remember Stefano with this short story: a couple of years ago I organized the showing of his movie 'Il Levriero'. It’s a short movie, 25 minutes, rough, intense, very ahead of its time, made in 1977 and featuring the Italian speedway rider "Charlie Brown”, known to all as Giuseppe Marzotto, founder and owner of GM speedway engines

    DRAGSTERS by Benedict Redgrove

    I've known Benedict Redgrove since the first Bike Shed Show in 2013. He was one of the main organisers of the original Bike Shed show, and instrumental in the foundations laid for the BSMC's great success. He's also a hugely skilled and successful, photographer. I supplied the words for a feature Benedict shot for Spaces In Between magazine at the Rye House DTRA round last year. He won an award for the photography (which I'll post tomorrow, I thought I had already had). We we

    The In-Camera Cover

    UK subscribers should be receiving their new issues any day (overseas have to wait a while). I wanted to wait until some people had the magazines in their hands before sharing the story of the cover shoot. It's something special. I'm not sure it's ever been done before, an entire cover shot 'in camera'. I've written a whole story on how it was done and it's in our burgeoning STORIES DIRECTORY. Go read about the Sideburn 32 - In Camera Cover now. But BUY SIDEBURN 32 first... D

    SnowQuake by Matt Sills

    We have just published a great set of photos in our STORIES section. Matt Sills was so taken with the images he'd seen of previous SnowQuakes that he drove the 900 or so miles to Italy, via Switzerland (and an appointment with an ETA) to shoot it as a personal project. Go to SnowQuake 2018 to see the photos and read Matt's short story. And don't forget, SnowQuake highlights are on free to view ITV4 this Wednesday at 8pm. #MattSills #Photography #SnowQuake #Italy #DeusMilan #D
