In the early 70s, Mike Mandel would walk from his house in north Hollywood to a busy intersection where he would stand on the pavement and point his camera at the cars waiting at the traffic lights. Around 45 years later, Mandel was convinced by his publisher to revisit the 75 rolls of film. The result is People in Cars, a sustained snapshot of a time when, as Mandel puts it, "people were not as paranoid about cameras." Some waved, some hid, no one wore a seatbelt and everyone smoked.
