The Haight: Photos Capture the '60s San Francisco in Love, Rock, and Revolution by Jim Marshall

Counter-culture movements of the 1960s have been extensively studied throughout history. Haight-Ashbury, widely regarded as the cradle of the revolution, grew from a small neighborhood into an international phenomenon—a concept that extends far beyond its boundaries.

Jim Marshall documented this area visually in a way no one else has. His portraits of some of the era’s most outstanding musicians helped Marshall amass a staggering archive of music photography and Grammy recognition for his work.

These stunning photographs provide a unique perspective on the Summer of Love, Haight-Ashbury, and beyond.
