Part of Ron Reid’s ‘Festival’ series.

Born in Australia, resident photographer at the Marquee Club for many years he trained as an engineer specialising in motor boats. He  headed to London, abandoned a conventional career path to become a photographer, he describes the transformation (with thanks to ronreid.info)

‘During this period I became involved in vegetarian lifestyles and ecology. On a voluntary basis as chief engineer, I undertook the preparation of the Green Peace ship, Rainbow Warrior for her great task and completed an extensive report to enable her to be re-engined with more suitable propulsion machinery.

Over the last 25 years, I’ve accumulated a considerable archive of images of alternative living, rock music culture, youth and street styles etc’.

This new zine by Cafe Royal books features his photos from Glastonbury in 1971
