Des anyone still remember Progressive Labor?
This was a fringe group that had it's proverbial 15 minutes of fame in the seventies made up od misguided individuals who knew nothing about labor because they were all students. Probably they became Wall Street big shots or high potere attorneys making lots of money. These images were shot with a Leica M-4 with Ektachrome 100 that I used to buy in bulk rolls. The lens was that superb Summicron F 2. This was the best combination for street photography.

You just had to be there
The sixties were fun, the seventies were OK. Then it all went to hell. Touchy feelie, self esteem and political correctness destroyed individualism and that sense of the outrageous. In the sixties, Central Park in Manhattan was the mecca. You has to make the scene. You gad to be seen. Weekends attracted huge crowds and there was always the unexpected, the happening. So called progress and group think killed that great feeling that anything was possible. Too bad. These images were made with a Canon FT with a 50 mm F 1.4 Canon FL lens and naturally on Tri-X Pan.
