Background information
"The Drugstore Camera' feels like a stumbled-upon treasure, a disposable camera you forgot about and only just remembered to develop. Yet in this case the photographer is Dennis HOPPER and the photographs, remarkably, are never before published. Shot in Taos, New Mexico, where he was based following the production of 'Easy Rider' in the late 1960s, the series was taken with disposable cameras and developed in drugstore photo labs.
Content
This clothbound collection, 'Drugstore Camera' by Dennis HOPPER, documents his friends and family among the ruins and open vistas of the desert landscape, female nudes in shadowy interiors, road trips to and from his home state of Kansas and impromptu still lifes of discarded objects. These images, capturing iconic individuals, wide-open Western terrain and drug-addled fun, create a captivating view of the 1960s and 70s, combining political idealism and optimism with California coolness."
