As I was sifting through this excellent LIFE photograph archive of skateboarding in the 1960′s, I noticed something a little off. Amidst the flooded dress pants, sweater jackets and generally well dressed people of the 1960′s, was this guy. Jeans. Shirt. Shades. Devil may care attitude. He looks like a dude who just shot a Instagram pic, not a guy from the 60s.
A good desktop image is hard to find. Microsoft did very well with the default pretty “Bliss” Windows XP desktop, but that was years ago. The site where the photo was taken? It’s not quite as pretty as it once was.
