In 1976, a pivotal year for both the United States and the Californian skateboarding scene, Jeff Heyman's photography exhibit showcases 20 rare images captured at Montevideo, a significant skate spot in San Ramon. Heyman, who documented local skateboarders during high school, highlights the vibrant subculture of young skaters engaging in the sport amidst the era's fashion and fun. The exhibit, open until June 8 at Danville's Museum of the San Ramon Valley, provides a nostalgic glimpse into the origins of modern skateboarding in Northern California.
In Montevideo: Skateboarding History in the San Ramon Valley, Heyman presents 20 rare, black-and-white images showing what was going down at this pivotal moment in history.
Jeff Heyman, a photographer based in Orinda, spent that year as a student at a local high school where he worked for the school rag, The Wolf Print.
