Introduction
Lisa
Law has been a photographer for over fifty years documenting life
as she sees it wherever she goes. In the Sixties she photographed
fledgling musical bands and marched against the War in Viet Nam.
In 1967, along with 10,000 others, she celebrated at the Gathering
of the tribes at a Human Be-In in San Francisco.
She lived in the mountains of Oaxaca, Mexico, capturing images
of the mushroom people of Huautla de Jimenez. From there she documented
the back to the land movement and the communes of Northern New
Mexico. At Woodstock she helped feed 160,000 people along with
Wavy Gravy and the Hog Farm and shot a super 8 movie at the same
time. In the deserts of Arizona she helped the Navajo weavers
resist relocation by the BIA and Peabody Cole and in El Salvador
she was a driver for Pastors for peace delivering aid to the refugees
living in make shift houses at the city dump. She took a train
from the magical village of Cusco to Machu Picchu to document
the ancient hand hewn stone temples in Peru. She is thrilled to
share some of her artistic photographs of many varied subjects.
Her most recent works include the hand carved sand caves of New
Mexico, and the movement to end the war on drugs in the US. Within
