Barbara Ramos's black-and-white street photographs from the late 1960s and early 1970s provide a unique perspective on urban living in San Francisco. Documenting diverse scenes, Ramos presents everyday moments filled with intricate details that reflect the culture of the time. After a significant hiatus from photography, she rediscovered her work and shared her images online, leading to their first publication in A Fearless Eye. The photographs serve as a historical snapshot of a city on the brink of change, highlighting the variety of people and their experiences during a notable era.
"I felt like I became the people I was photographing, every waking minute I was obsessed by looking, by exploring the world."
"Instead, the art historian Sally Stein writes... they make for a multifaceted chronicle of a society brewing with diversity in which, improbably, the center still held."
