While I have no real nostalgia for the 1970s, these are great photos. Two words kept going through my mind as I scrolled through it: “youth” and “health”. It looks like it didn’t take much to make these long haired waifs happy – and that is awesome. I loved the photo of the dude with the surfboard held together with electrical tape.

It seems funny to say, but this “So Cal” look is now more or less timeless/classic. The only way you can’t tell that they’re from today is that there’s not a cell phone or Starbucks cup to be found in any of them.
