If I remember correctly the hotel was owned by a local photographer who was huge in the Venice Beach scene. These photos lined the halls of my floor. Sorry for the poor quality but I thought it was really cool to see the vibrancy of the local scene before bodybuilding really blew up. Some of these guys are so mythic now, you forget they were just buds in a local gym pushing each other further than they had ever been pushed before and having a blast doing it.
