BLUE JEANS RIDE

CALIFORNIA, WHEN JEANS WERE WIDE AND HAIR WAS LONG.

A Datsun 1600 in top form. Shiny chrome, clean paint, looking much too fresh for its age. No muscle car, no bruiser. More of a charming boy with a slightly mischievous smile.

BLUE JEANS RIDE belongs to that loose seventies California of skateboards, roadside parking lots and afternoons with nowhere important to be.

You can almost see the rest of the picture outside the frame: sun-bleached hair, flared denim, a board under one arm.

Someone is probably rolling something.

Nobody seems particularly worried about the time.

The Datsun fits right in.

Some cars are classics.

This one just looks like it is having a very good afternoon.
