Is there anything more romantic looking than the mid-70’s skate and surf scene of Southern California on film?

Nope. Check out Hugh Holland’s classic shots. Looks like a few appearances of that infamous Palisades schoolyard bank that changed skateboarding forever.

 

“Hugh Holland travelled to Venice Beach from Oklahoma in the mid-’70s and immediately fell in love with the Southern California skateboarding scene.

His photographs captured the best of the early skateboarding scene in California. He’s a traditional photographer. so all shots were captured with his old color negative movie film camera. Some of his best shots were exhibited in a show called Locals Only. We’re highlighting some of our favorites but you can see more from this series here.”
