Woodstock?

Although I wasn't able to verify it, I think this is a scene 

from the traffic jam around Woodstock in 1969.

 

Hippie Day

Carl G. of Las Cruces, New Mexico requested a hippie series, and I am happy to oblige.

We start with a 1973 photo by an unknown photographer.  All my source said about this was

"Austrian Journalist Günther Nenning (middle left) with other naked people. 1973."

 

Right at us

I don't know what his expression signifies, but he's looking right at us.

 

Third clip

This is the third and final GIF clip from a short film I found.  While it is different 

from the previous two I've posted, all they do is mill aound and preen, so you've 

pretty much seen it all.  I won't be posting the other three.

 

Proletarian Youth

I've posted other photos from the 1976 Festival of Proletarian Youth which took place in northern Italy.  This one is new to the blog, and a personal favorite because of the bear at center.  The festival was a combination party and political demonstration that went on for days.

 

1980

All my source said about this one was "1980."

 

Too full house

American artist Will McBride took this photo in Munich in 1968.

It was a piece of installation art called Too Full House.

 

A little music

I think this guy is using a portable record player.

 

Another demonstration

This looks like a protest demonstration, and there's even a naked photographer in the shot.

 

Smile

The last hippie of the set is flashing a smile.

 

Hippie

This looks like a hippie gone to the beach.

 

Hippies

Today's theme is hippies, and we start with a guy who may be using a wooden keg as a drum.

 

In the water

Naked swimming was a favorite hippie activity.

 

Drumming and sunning

Hippies loved to camp, and these guys are drumming while sunning themselves.

 

Happy

If you look closely, you can see this hippie dude is smiling.

The nude profile is quite nice, too.

 

Taylor Camp

Taylor Camp was a hippie commune on the island Kauai in the 1970s.  Google it sometime for an interesting bit of hippie and Hawaii history.  Here the men of the camp are playing (what else?) volleyball.  This one enlarges well for those of you who want to see detail.

 

Peeping Tom?

Our blonde friend here seems to be peeping through a cracked door.

 

Beach

Long hair?  Check.  Beads?  Check. Weird sunglasses?  Check.

Mexican blanket?  Check.  Must be a hippie at the beach.

 

Abbie Hoffman with classic car

Leni Sinclair took this photo of Abbie Hoffman and a 1950s large car.  Ms. Sinclair 

photographed a lot of hippies, including some who supported violent revolution.

 

Back at ya

One of these hippies is taking picture of whoever is taking one of him.

Too bad I can't find the other view anywhere.
