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.

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.

The result is a distinctly feminine and decorative sensibility that resonates as both contemporary and timeless. * Lulu de Kwiatkowski and her work have been prominently featured in Architectural Digest and other interior design and lifestyle magazines. * She has a background in painting, textile design, and the decorative arts. * Her work blends depictions of flora and fauna with geometric studies of pattern and color.
