Description
’s high time to celebrate the arrival of a gorgeous new photographic contemporary look of our neighborhood and its place in the Bay Area.There’s no lack of historical books about the Haight-Ashbury, but this is the first to portray the modern Haight…with its rich mix of 60s tie-dyes, 80s Deadheads and 00s murals recalling the past…a neighborhood with history and culture intertwined with the City and with the greater Bay Area that surrounds it.
Dick Evans worked with his long-time photo editor, Yasemin Kant, with the resulting 200+ photographs marvelous in full color. Ben Fong-Torres added a Foreword and section introductions. And local guide and historian Stannous Flouride provided background research. It’s a terrific mix that culminates in a book you’ll want to give to friends and family far away.
Join us to cheer all the hard work and to celebrate the ‘hood!
Dick Evans was born and raised on a cattle ranch in Oregon, and could easily have stayed home and become a cowboy. Instead, he studied engineering and evolved into a globe-trotting CEO. Along the way, he’s lived in North America, Africa, and Europe; travelled in China, Japan, Brazil, Australia, Iceland, and India; and, while fly fishing on a stream in northern Quebec, he rediscovered his passion for photography.
