A Golden Age: Some of the Lesser-Known Pictures

When I was searching through my old pictures to make an initial select for A Golden Age that Rizzoli published earlier this year, I came across a bunch of pictures that’d slipped from my mind or never been there in the first place. There were no wondrous discoveries unfortunately – more that I was reacquainted with pictures that’d been published some 40 years before, or noticed others that I hadn’t seen the significance of. That was pretty nice actually.

Blacks – 1976 A couple of snapshots of an early morning surf run to Blacks north of San Diego. I was staying in Encinitas with Garth Murphy and the kids were the sons of friends of his as I remember. Photo: Witzig
