| Publisher Description: Ricky Adam's first book, Destroying Everything, documents over 20 years of some of the most influential and poignant counter-culture photographs ever taken. By bringing together aspects of BMX, Punk and underground youth culture, the collection powerfully captures the freedom of those that do things their own thing their own way and live life from the heart. Lodown Magazine called the book "a testament to Ricky Adam's ability to capture the optimism, energy and enthusiasm of a generation that prefers to live a counter lifestyle." Adam's work is so influential that it has been featured in many international publications and record labels including DIG BMX magazine, Juxtapoz, Obey, Maximum Rock N'Roll, Upper Playground, Hamburger Eyes, Dischord Records, Burning Heart Records, The Independent and more. After the first edition sold out in less than a month, Drago is proud to publish the second edition of his book which includes an additional 12 pages. |
