Web gallery Venicepix features hundreds of photographs from the 1970s-80s of surf and skate kids hanging out on LA.‘s Venice Beach. Richly evocative of an era when punk was breaking and the hippie dippy sixties were starting to fray at the edges, these photos have a “Lord Of The Flies” vibe suffused with the scent of cannabis and and peroxide. This ain’t Beach Blanket Bingo. These kids have seen the future and it sucks. A heavy melancholy weighs on some of these faces. Surf, sand and concrete seem like an afterthought.
