Unusual sleeping position #I

Iconic Life photographer, Bill Eppridge, is perhaps best known for capturing Bobby F. Kennedy's dying moments on camera. Far less morbid, though, are the snapper's photographs from Woodstock festival in 1969. Naked lovers, people sleeping in unusual locations and hippies moving and shaking to the music all feature heavily in his body of work from those memorable three days. Through his lens, the free spirit of Woodstock and all in attendance is immortalised for us to enjoy even now, decades after one of history's most cult music moments.
