<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In the 1970s, photographer Hugh Holland masterfully captured the burgeoning culture of skateboarding against a sometimes harsh but always sunny Southern California landscape. 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 in a drought-ridden Southern California. From 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 skateboarding lifestyle and culture.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"The gorgeous black-and-white photos collected in Hugh Holland's<i> Silver.

Seventies.</i> capture the long summer evening of skateboarding's adolescence, a momentary sense of freedom from gravity, just before it rocketed into the cultural stratosphere." --<b><i>Los Angeles Magazine</i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Hugh Holland is a Los Angeles-based photographer and author of <i>Locals Only</i>.
