1951 "Woody"

August 27, 2015/ Tommy

There is nothing more quintessential California than a "woody". As a golden state native I've grown up seeing these from time to time (no, they're not parked along every beach in Malibu) and they always make me smile. Sir Nadroj has captured it's essence superbly here, and of course the surfboard on top is the perfect finishing touch.
