"Come on, people now, smile on your brother, everybody get together, try to love one another right now."
"This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius."
"Make love, not war."

It was a nice idea, wasn't it? It might even have worked if there hadn't been so much acid, booze and ass; needles, guns and grass.

This is a picture book. Photographs from the sixties and early seventies taken by Robert Altman. If you were there and are wishing you could relive it, or if you're feeling nostalgic for a time before you were born, fire up that lava lamp and take a look. It's a fine reminder that it wasn't all peace, love and hippie beads.

Lovely, evocative photographs of all those crazy kids. Large format lends extra punch to the images.
