“To me, the counterculture was always what I grew up with the hippies in the late '60s. But, however you define it, it's really the excesses of youth and it's something that everyone goes through to some extent. Or if they don't, they should do.” IfsShouldYouthGrewLateGrew UpExcessHippieCounterculture Author:Derek Ridgers
“Only a very small proportion of us take those excesses with us into later life. In the age before everyone had a camera, it was worthwhile, in my opinion, to record those excesses. Sometimes, many times actually, the young people I photographed were only dressed that way for one night; that one night that they got snapped by me.” PeopleWaySometimesAgeYoungNightOpinionRecordsCamerasProportionExcessWorthwhileOne Night Author:Derek Ridgers
