Gas, Grass or Ass: Nobody rides for free

Fifty years after the Summer of Love, the psychedelic culture of the 1960’s lives on within a ragtag group of counter culture Deadheads and social outcasts, who take to the road each season, traveling the US by bus, creating random families, looking for freedom, love and a safe space from the world’s problems.

I fell in with a group on a recent summer and spent three weeks in a kind of fever dream on a former church bus traveling from east to west with a multigenerational group searching for a miracle.

My project Gas, Grass or Ass is a diarist account in pictures, words and audio clips of this journey, stopping along the way to sell laughing gas in balloons in parking lots of concert venues. My traveling companions filled their pockets with crystals and let the wind tousle their hair as they rode around listening to the Grateful Dead on scratchy speakers, the smell of cigarettes permeating the air.
