+ Current Obsession: Vintage Surfing +
Ésta es una de esas cosas que uno no espera encontrarse en una gasolinera dejada de la mano de Dios, volviendo a casa de las vacaciones. Pero sÃ, a veces esto pasa, y te encuentras no una si no hasta cuatro joyitas de Taschen que hablan de moda y diseño vintage a un precio más que módico. Vintage surfing, en concreto, supone una recopilación de imágenes, ilustraciones y cartelerÃa en una retrospectiva del surfing lifestyle desde sus inicios hasta la época. La última imagen es de Leroy Grannis, autor del must-have surfero por excelencia: Surf Photography of the 1960s and 1970s.
