Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A sublime photographic chronicle of the efforts of several counterculture families to adopt a traditional Nuevomexicano life in the tiny village of Petaca, New Mexico, in the early 1970s. In the early 1970s there weren't many women photographers, and fewer still who used their camera to make ethnographic studies. Lynn Adler was a self-taught photographer using an old 35 mm camera her mother had left to her. But her instinct for seeing the collision of cultures, along with her savant's eye for constructing beautiful frames, allowed her to capture a moment both rare and spectacular in a tiny village in Northern New Mexico called Petaca. At the time, Petaca was home to about fifty very traditional Hispano families with roots in the area going back well over a hundred years. The town had no schools, no hospital, no stoplights; it had one church, one bar, one dry-goods store, and a single gas pump. Spanish was nearly everyone's first language, and the only real employment had been a mineral mine, shut down in the 1950s. Most families got by as subsistence farmers. These families were joined by people who had left San Francisco and New York City, seeking a simpler life. It was while visiting friends who had made this move that Lynn Adler made these photographs between 1970 and 1974. Lynn's photographs show her friends deep in the hard work of homesteading and raising families; they show the local people tending the crops and looking after their animals, and they show when members of both groups came together. It has been half a century since Adler last looked through her viewfinder at Petaca. The children who ran through her pictures are now deep into middle age, and the older people are gone. And So We Moved to Petaca is a moving portrait of a time and place. If not for these photographs, this fleeting moment would have been lost to time, and this story of community and conflict would never have been shared.…
