For the past six years, photographer Elaine Mayes (born 1936) has been crisscrossing the US, never remaining in one place for more than three or four months at a time. The resulting volume of stylistically eclectic photographs represents a diary-like record of an itinerant life that seems a far cry from the On the Road-style liberty enjoyed by rebellious young people of the 1950s and 60s--and yet Mayes’ pictures, taken in places that range from the Southern Oregon Coast to Italy, France, Seattle, Washington, DC and New York’s Financial District, Tribeca and Brooklyn, are nothing if not joyful, exuberant exercises in freedom and revolt. With this volume, Mayes moves forward from the portrayal of more liberated lifestyles that she began in the 1960s with her pictures from San Francisco’s Haight Ashbury and the music counterculture to focus on a broader vista that encompasses our current cultural moment.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
