Patrick O'Dell's Epicly Later'd, The Book

In an age where no one is certain of the future of print, yet we're all seemingly starved for it, epic photo books have been dropping left and right. Right on time is Patrick O'Dell's Epicly Later'd photo book—a collection of photos from his popular web log of the early aughts.

Mostly NYC skateboarding, culture, and late nights, but also featuring road trips, musicians and more, these photos of times before cell phones and social media are near and dear to our hearts. Pre-order the book here and stay tuned to O'Dell's IG for more info.

"My webzone has been adapted into a book 😲. It’s an autobiography, it’s a party blog, a romance novel, an episode, a qualification"

"In 2004, well before the advent of social media as a global phenomenon, photographer Patrick O’Dell launched the celebrated blog Epicly Later’d . Dedicated to documenting the adventure and mayhem of the NYC skate/music/downtown scene, the site distinguished itself with its offhand wit, its irreverent cast of characters, and an intimate photo-diary format years ahead of its time. Nearly two decades later, the impact of O’Dell’s work can be appreciated in full: its influence is now apparent across photo, art, and skate culture, and the original photographs still astonish. Compiled by O’Dell and editor Jesse Pearson, Epicly Later’d collects the best of the blog into a body of work that’s evocative, funny, and wildly compelling.

Patrick O’Dell is a photographer, photo editor, filmmaker, and skateboarder from Columbus, Ohio. In addition to the creation of the seminal photoblog Epicly Later’d, his work includes serving as a photographer for Thrasher magazine and photo editor for Vice. He also created and produced the webshow and television adaptations of Epicly Later’d, and is an acclaimed director of music videos and the film Dumb: The Story of Big Brother Magazine."
