60s photos

I found a couple of good ones by putting "the 60s" into the google image search. You could also try "woodstock.'

Of course, the 60s had many faces, so maybe a narrow search would help.

I think I have some of me and my friends dressing totally hippie style while in college going out to a demo! This would be 1967-68 when I was at Northwestern.

What format do you need them, for what, when?

it's for a feature i'm putting together for my uni magazine. the magazine is one dedicated to the events/people/news of the 1960s and i thought it would be an idea to include letters and photos of readers' memories of living in the 60s. so any that you guys have would be a great help. ideally in .jpg format but i can try to work with most formats.

I was at Woodstock and took a bunch of pictures, but I was also one of the unfortunate ones who didn't hear the warning about the brown acid. I should have been suspicious when I suddenly saw all these people emptying their pockets and tossing all of their brown acid on the ground, but I seized the opportunity, and like a chicken gobbling up seed corn, I consumed that stuff in an alarmingly rapid fashion. Soon after, the sky darkened and the first wave of pterodactyls came swooping down, screeching and grabbing the terrified concert goers in their razor sharp talons and returning to the skies. Wave after wave came raining down. I dropped my pictures as I raced to the safety of the woods. That's the last thing I remember. I "woke up" in the early eighties, strapped to a small bed in the pleasant hills of Vermont. I managed to escape and made my way west.

I still would like to know just what the hell was in that acid.

that sounds like the type of thing i'm after! any chance of getting a lend of one of those pictures to include, please?

Thanks for your interest, cshed. I've been trying to suppress the memories from that fateful weekend, but your questions have awakened the beast.

I sat at my table the other day, pondering your inquiry about photographs and suddenly I remembered I had taken one that day. It was buried deep in an old army trunk in the attic of my house. I went upstairs, dug through the trunk, and there it was. My heart quickened as I stared at the photograph. I took it from the safety of the woods. As you'll recall, I had raced to the woods when the skies darkened with these winged creatures from hell.

In the woods I burrowed beneath a pile of leaves and laid motionless. I listened to the screams fill the air and watched helplessly as hippies were carried away. Then.... I heard a sound. A creature approached....



It walked in a predatory fashion right along the treeline, presumably looking for a nice fat hippie to eat. It drew closer and stopped. I could hear its breathing and the cold eyes darted to and fro. Slowly I raised my camera and took the picture you have just seen. The click of the camera caused the bird to whip his head around and stare straight at me. It slowly approached and I knew I was doomed.

But then, like manna from heaven, a skinny hippie in a tie-dyed shirt raced by screaming and the bird snatched him in its mighty beak, gave me a look that said "It's your lucky day, brother" and the mighty wings spread and it was gone. The whoosh from its wings stirred the leaves around me and I noticed a small army of headless ants sneaking up on me.

But that's another story.

Anybody who says they remember the 1960s wasn't there.

Hey Gus have another for old times sake.

Good Lord! That's the guy the pterodactyl grabbed.

What a small friggin' world.

I know, I was behind the tree.

Here ya go cshed, hope these help.

thanks all you funky cats!

And thank you, brother or sister, for gracing us with your inquisitive presence.

Gus, how long do we have to wait for the other story?

I'm sorry, Paula, but I'm not quite ready yet. There was much trauma.

I....I..... I need some time.

O.k. Take all of the t...t...t....time you need.

trauma

Try remembering an unusual moment, after-thought.

You sound just like Roger Daltry.

I had a crush on him, eew.

I think that you will find a number of good ones here:
