He then disappeared into the night, never to be heard from. In an apparent drug-induced frenzy, Bach began slaughtering his followers. On June 23, something went terribly wrong in the free love and peace commune.
This reissue of Immediate Family has been printed using new scans and separations from Mann’s original prints, which were taken with an 8 x 10-inch view camera, rendering them with a freshness and sumptuousness true to the original edition. Horror (2005) 81 minutes Color In 1969, in a small hippie commune in Northern California, Timothy Bach a self-proclaimed guru maintained a hypnotic hold on his followers. This is the stuff of which Greek dramas are made: impatience, terror, self-discovery, self-doubt, pain, vulnerability, role-playing and a sense of immortality, all of which converge in these astonishing photographs. BOGOTA, Colombia A children’s beauty pageant in Colombia, dubbed Little Miss Thong, sparked outrage online Tuesday, but local officials are defending the contest. With sublime dignity, acute wit and feral grace, Sally Mann’s pictures explore the eternal struggle between the child’s simultaneous dependence and quest for autonomy-the holding on and the breaking away. Taken against the Arcadian backdrop of her woodland summer home in Virginia, Sally Mann’s extraordinary, intimate photographs of her children reveal truths that embody the individuality of her own family yet ultimately take on a universal quality.
First published in 1992, Immediate Family has been lauded by critics as one of the great photography books of our time, and among the most influential.
