One More Gjon Mili




This one didn't upload the other day, it's from "Hunter Weider Spring Fall".

Life Through The Sixtees - Slides














source:life

I've got to stop cruising the Life Magazine Archive.
It's becoming a real addiction.
These are from a group of photos labeled "Life Through The Sixtees - Slides", and yes I know it's spelled wrong.
There were no captions, dates, photographer credits, or anything else but I think they are from a book that came out in the 80s.
I only picked hippie-related pictures, but there's lots of other great stuff too.

Gjon Mili?

"Hunter Weider Spring Fall"












"Hunter Choice Spring Fall"









source:life

I found these when I was searching for photos of Spring.
They're from the Life magazine archive and I think they are student work from the early 1970s.
They are credited to Gjon Mili who worked at Life for many years, but there is not much more information to go on.
Mili taught at my alma mater, Hunter College, and it looks like these photos were made for a class, or maybe two separate classes.
I picked a few that seem less college student-y than the rest.
And, come to think of it, I picked a few because they are obviously college student-y and I happen to like that.
