Everyday life on the Haight: previously unseen portraits from the hippie epicenter by the acclaimed documentarianElaine Mayes (born 1936) was a young photographer living in San Francisco's lively Haight-Ashbury District during the 1960s. By that time, the hippie movement had turned from euphoria to harder drugs, and the Haight had become less of a blissed-out haven for young people seeking a better way of life than a halfway house for runaway teens.Realizing the gravity of the cultural moment, Mayes shifted from the photojournalistic approach she had applied to musicians and concert-goers in Monterey to making formal portraits of people she met on the street.
