A year before 1967's famed Summer of Love, documentary photographer
William Gedney set out for San Francisco on a Guggenheim Fellowship
to record "aspects of our culture which I believe significant and
which I hope will become, in time, part of the visual record of
American history." A Time of Youth brings together eighty-seven of
the more than two thousand photographs Gedney took in San
Francisco's Haight-Ashbury neighborhood between October 1966 and
January 1967. In these photographs Gedney documents the restless
and intertwined lives of the disenchanted youth who flocked to what
became the epicenter of 1960s counterculture. Gedney lived among
these young people in their communal homes, where he captured the
intimate and varied contours of everyday life: solitude and
companionship, joyous celebration and somber quiet, cramped rooms
and spacious parks, recreation and contemplation. In these images
Gedney presents a portrait of a San Francisco counterculture that
complicates popular depictions of late 1960s youth as carefree
flower children. The book also includes facsimiles of handwritten
descriptions of the scenes Gedney photographed, his thoughts on
organizing the book, and other ephemera.
