Janis Joplin with Big Brother and The Holding Company, Lagunitas, CA 1967
Photographer Lisa Law's story is one among thousands of personal narratives that made up the cultural fabric of America in the 1960s, when Americans were wrestling with such issues as civil rights, the environment, personal freedom, nuclear arms, and the Vietnam War.Americans in that era faced many controversial issues-from civil rights, the Vietnam War, nuclear arms, and the environment to drug use, sexual freedom, and nonconformity.
Lisa Bachelis grew up in Burbank, California, in a middle-class family that shared liberal social and political ideals. As a high schooler in San Francisco, she was drawn to North Beach and Sausalito and their colorful bohemian communities--artists, musicians, and writers who rejected conformity, challenged the civil and art establishments, and experimented with many forms of personal expression, including dress and drugs.
In 1964, at age twenty-one, Bachelis became personal assistant to Frank Werber, manager of the Kingston Trio. He gave her a 35-mm camera and asked her to photograph musicians for his record company.
