When the surfing scene started burgeoning along the SoCal coast in the early 1960s, surfer and amateur photographer LeRoy Grannis was there to document it all. His now legendary photos capture the essence of the early days of surf culture. The "BIRTH OF SURF: THE 1960s AND 1970s DOCUMENTARY SURF PHOTOGRAPHY OF LEROY GRANNIS” exhibition captures surfing’s golden years and the surfing lifestyle in California and Hawaii, including the fashions, landscapes and architecture. The exhibition opened at the Dallas Center of Architecture on June 22 and runs until August 29.
