Holland's fine art photographs sell for thousands of dollars at
galleries around the world. Offering his images as 30 frameable
posters for $29.95 is an amazing opportunity for the many fans and
collectors of his work. LOCALS ONLY is a deluxe book of 30
removable and frameable posters by legendary skateboard
photographer Hugh Holland. Throughout the 1970s, Holland documented
not only the nascent sport that originated in Southern California,
but also the style, grace, and athleticism of the teenagers
themselves. During the mid-1970s, Southern California was
experiencing a serious drought, leaving an abundance of empty
swimming pools available for trespassing skateboarders to practice
their tricks on. From these suburban backyard haunts to the asphalt
streets that connected them, L.A. was the place that created the
legendary Dogtown and Z-Boys skateboarders. Holland's photographs
document these sidewalk surfers on the streets of Los Angeles,
parts of the San Fernando Valley, Venice Beach, and as far away as
San Francisco and Baja California, Mexico. With their requisite
bleached-blond hair, tanned bodies, tube socks, and Vans sneakers,
these young outsiders are masterfully captured against a sometimes
harsh but always sunny Southern California landscape.
