Known for his artistic approach to photographing the burgeoning surfing and skateboarding scene of the late 1970s, Craig Fineman took into consideration the overall aesthetics of a photograph, with unique angles and compositions intertwined with an almost architectural feel. The publishers chose to present each photograph in a distinct way, giving a feel of the gravity of the situation while highlighting the gracefully flowing movements taking place: black-and-white views of skaters on the walls of empty pools, shot from above so that their shadows fall across the concrete, one of them flying upside down, and a page of text by Brad Bowman set in the outline of a kidney-shaped pool. Sadly Fineman is no longer with us; the book offers an intimate look at a late-1970s pool skating session, captured in black and white as only he could, and nods to the influence of those pools on modern surfing.
