Snaphot of the Day: An Enthusiast is Born

Photo by Hugh Holland

This image is from Hugh Holland, most noted for his photo essay of life in the freshly forming Southern California 1970's skateboard culture in his book, Locals Only. We love the wild eyed excitement of youth, with the superimposition of the elder gentleman in the background, creating an ethereal vision that makes us think the man is reminiscing about his long-gone youth, or perhaps, if we're being less somber, the child sparking what will become a lifelong interest in vintage cars. How do you interpret this image?
