Across the Great Divide: A Photo Chronicle of the Counterculture

Roberta Price

Gold Medal Winner:IndieFab awards -Photography (2010)
Price's understated, almost journalistic foray is lit by warmth, humor, and the abundant tenderness of her subjects; the photographs function as part family album (Price herself called a commune her home for seven years), part countercultural slide show, part lesson in American history....If at first glimpse, these images appear as familiar images of hippie culture, a closer look reveals nuance and idiosyncrasy. Characters recur, a story begins to emerge, and the work unfurls into a profound exploration that touches on ethnography. --Publishers Weekly
