captured
these extremely cool images
in the 70s just as
skateboarding was born.
Holland's images for me bring
back my carefree childhood
in the 70s and also
our sons who often wear
their hair long, shaggy
and surfer-like.
Some shots from
a couple years back...

our surfing, skating, sun-worshipping son at 14 on a boat
(couldn't this be a chic ad in Vogue for.....?)

i know. i know. but not posed. it's just one of the many skills teenagers excel at.

a snap of other son: the shade-loving skater at 14
(he grew his hair MUCH longer than this).
Back to Hugh Holland fabulousness.
In the mid-70s Southern Cali had a big time
drought, and empty swimming pools were
just begging to be skated upon.
Love this one!
Hugh Holland's
(Ammo Books)
is full of
vintage*skater*cool images
that make this mother of sons smile.
Can you dig it?
