No matter how images were captured in the 1960s, a wealth of memories is preserved in the images of the hippy era, the Viet Nam era, the Beatles era.The decade of the 1960s is when photo-journalism and videography came alive. America watched a war from our living rooms, of course, but we also saw images that characterized the unrest and feelings of rebellion sweeping the nation. Sometimes, those photos were manipulated (in the dark room) to be more like how the photographer felt. Sometimes, they were staged.
Take a few minutes to savor this photo essay from the
photo guy who calls himself Mr. Sixties. Robert Altman was right htere, as chief photographer for
Rolling Stone Magazine. Share Altman's photo essay with friends, and remember that this technology is what gave rise to digital photography, light room technology, and photo editing. Once upon a time in our youth, black and white film and color film recorded history. Now, we use pixels.
