Photo of the Day - May 23, 2012 - Boys Skateboarding

A younger friend watches two others skateboarding down a street somewhere in Brooklyn - All of the skateboards look like they must be somewhat new - none have any scratches. The year is 1987, and the boys sport kneepads but no helmets.

Lined up for a picture, the boys are initially weary of their photographer (above), but they quickly become comfortable and pose for a memorable portrait. (below)
