Morning Shower Golden Gate Park

San Francisco 1967

I remembered this guy from art school and stopped to talk to him on Hippie Hill. He told me that he took an LSD trip a couple of days before and decided to go natural. He flushed his false teeth and contacts down the toilet. Now he was having trouble seeing and eating. Then, all at once the sprinklers came on and he ran screaming with joy down the hill for his morning shower.

I was on assignment with Nicholas von Hoffman who was writing about Haight-Ashbury for the Washington Post. This photograph appeared on the front page.It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
