Were you aware of the Documerica project? The EPA sent photographers across America in the early to mid-seventies to photograph the environment and the pollution (and WOW the pollution) and the people affected by it. The results are beautiful and evocative and colourful and make me glad I didn’t grow up with firey polluted lakes and rivers and sad I don’t get to smoke with impunity and wear some of those stellar styles. There is an exhibit at the National Archives and I’m dying to go.
