Everyday life on the Haight: previously unseen portraits from the hippie epicenter by the acclaimed documentarian
Elaine Mayes (born 1936) was a young photographer living in San Francisco's lively Haight-Ashbury District during the 1960s. She had photographed the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967 and, later that year, during the waning days of the Summer of Love, embarked on a set of portraits of youth culture in her neighborhood. By that time, the hippie movement had turned from euphoria to harder drugs, and the Haight had become less of a blissed-out haven for young people seeking a better way of life than a halfway house for runaway teens.
Elaine Mayes: The Haight-Ashbury Portraits 1967-1968 is the first monograph on one of the decade's most important bodies of work, presenting more than 40 images from Mayes' series. An essay by art historian Kevin Moore elaborates an important chapter in the history of West Coast photography.
