The 1970s had a visual personality all its own. Life had a looseness to it, and photographs from the decade often capture people simply having fun without worrying about social media or the pressure of modern society. Parties, vacations, concerts, shopping trips, nights out, and ordinary afternoons all all felt like they peaked, and fortunately every now and then someone happened to have a camera nearby. The clothes and hairstyles certainly catch your attention, but the real charm comes from the people themselves and the situations they found themselves in. These fifteen candid photographs capture the playful side of the decade and show why looking back at everyday life from the 1970s can be so entertaining.
