Dad Under a Pier
Some photographs only improve with time.
Recently my father was visiting a friend of the family and she gave him a number of photos of my father, some almost 40 years old. This photo was part of a series of photographs taken under a pier. I am going to guess that this photo is circa 1977. My father was around 30 years old.
I believe this photo was taken in Los Angeles, but I cannot be sure. I like my dad's animated expression, as if he was caught mid sentence. I like his larger than life hair, obnoxiously open shirt, and rolled up shirt-sleeves. Most of all, I like that I would have scoffed at this photo as a teenager. Now I just find it cool.

Picture was taken by my friend Mimi 1979/80, Santa Monica, California, under the old Santa Monica Pier. Back home in Minneapolis that day it was -10 Fahrenheit. When I returned home later that week I vowed to move to LA and get a place, which I did some nine years later!
