Silver. Skate. Seventies.: Photography Books for 70's Skateboarding Lifestyle
In the sun-drenched Southern California landscape, photographer Hugh Holland masterfully captured the burgeoning culture of skateboarding during the 1970s. This never-before-published collection showcases his black-and-white photographs that document young skateboarders sidewalk surfing off Mulholland Drive in concrete drainage ditches and empty swimming pools, against the backdrop of a sometimes harsh but always sunny environment.
From the suburban backyard haunts to the asphalt streets that connected them, this was the place that inspired the legendary Dogtown and Z-Boys skateboarders. With their requisite bleached-blond hair, tanned bodies, tube socks and Vans, these young outsiders evoke the sometimes reckless but always exhilarating origins of the skateboarding lifestyle and culture.
The collection captures the spirit of a generation that was redefining the boundaries of the sport, pushing the limits of what was possible on a skateboard. These photographs serve as a timeless testament to the raw energy, daring, and camaraderie that defined the early days of skateboarding.
The images offer a glimpse into a pivotal moment in history, when a group of young, rebellious individuals carved out a space for themselves, creating a subculture that would go on to inspire and influence generations to come. Through Holland's lens, we see the passion, the freedom, and the sense of adventure that defined the skateboarding community during this formative period.
The collection is a celebration of the pioneers who paved the way for the sport's evolution, and a testament to the enduring appeal of the skateboarding lifestyle. These photographs not only capture the physical prowess of the skateboarders, but also the spirit of a generation that was unafraid to challenge the status quo and redefine the boundaries of what was possible.
As we look back on this era, these images serve as a powerful reminder of the transformative power of passion, creativity, and the pursuit of personal expression. They inspire us to embrace the spirit of adventure and to never be afraid to push the limits of what we can achieve.
