Photos Where 1977 Just Undeniably Rules
Nineteen seventy-seven didn’t bother asking for permission. It just walked in wearing tinted aviators, turned up the stereo, and made every photograph look like it belonged on the cover of a wildly confident magazine. Even the family dog had an attitude back then.
The colors leaned warm, the hair leaned louder, and every background seemed contractually obligated to include wood paneling. People posed as if they were late for band practice, even when they were just standing in a parking lot. The whole year looked permanently ready for a disco emergency.
Anyone craving a little swagger will find plenty here. Everyone else may suddenly miss the smell of old film.
