Description

William Sharp started taking surfing photographs in southern California within the early seventies. and was once quickly drawn into the nascent skateboard scene, shooting friends emulating surfing moves on pavement. By 1975 he was once brought in as a group of workers photographer for the magazine Skateboard World. All through the following five years he documented the meteoric rise of the movement, capturing thousands of photographs along the best way. Back within the Day features hundreds of Sharp s astounding photos from this era, the vast majority of which have never been seen before. The work is priceless, not only for its documentary value, but for the beautiful and poetic images captured and later developed by Sharp himself (many in black and white). Pipes in Arizona, aqueducts in California, pools in every single place, the locales and images should be seen to be believed. More recently, Ozzie Ausband signed on as an editor of the project, collecting present day quotes and assisting with the paring down of Sharp s massive photo archive. Sharp s epic photos are populated by the leading edge of the scene such as Tony Alva, Jay Adams, Jerry Valdez, Steve Caballero, and Jay Smith, among many others. The book is bound two different colors (orange or blue) and ships blind / randomly.
