Girl photographed by Hugh Magnum c. 1909

Magnum’s photographs are notable for their informality, which was unusual for the period. I just adore the series of this girl, she’s such a beauty.

Rick McCloskey spent many of his evenings in the summer of 1972 photographing teenagers cruising Van Nuys Boulevard in the San Fernando Valley.

"Wednesday night was Cruise Night in the Valley. The Valley is a part of greater Los Angeles, and Van Nuys Boulevard was the place to cruise. The boulevard teemed with kids and cars from all over Southern California on Friday and Saturday nights as well, but Wednesday night was the big night for cruising. The boulevard ran straight and true from its southern beginning at Ventura Boulevard in Sherman Oaks all the way north through Panorama City and beyond. If you were young during the 1950s, the 1960s, or the 1970s, and you owned or had access to a car, or a motorcycle, Van Nuys Boulevard was the place to be in the evenings. It was a terrific place to both see and be seen in and with your ride." - Rick McCloskey
