WITH A $10 CAMERA BOUGHT in a Market Street hockshop, he begins recording the kaleidoscopic experience of the 60s and 70s in San Francisco. Roy Shigley’s crystalline imagery distills an emotional rite of passage through a unique slice of America’s cultural life. Friends and strangers in the throes of being exuberant, introspective, lost, loving and knowing is a reflection on what was gained, what has been lost and what is still to be learned.
HIS WORK HAS BEEN AWARDED by the National Endowment for the Arts and praised by Anaïs Nin, who told him, “Your work is your diary.” Here in these pages is a photographic diary of an iconic age.
