Steve Rosendale 'The Hitchhiker' landscapeOpening credits roll. A young woman appears with her back to us: youthful, distinctly 1970s, voluminous hair swaying in the wind. She stands at the roadside, looking out at the Californian landscape. Beside her, a passing motorist, sprawled across his yellow convertible slows to catch her eye.
