The Honey­moon

Today, when the period has been so mythologized, so pawed over, so scrutinized – both through the filter of nostalgia and the filter of bitter experience (for if the 1960s were a great time to be alive for some people, they as surely as not were a terrible time to be alive for many others) – I find myself finding it somehow slightly hard to believe that these photographs are real; that they haven’t, somehow, been brilliantly staged as a subtle and carefully constructed artistic project to which I, alone, have not been given the key.

The Honeymoon is a beautiful evocation of a forgotten age, the absence of information only adding to the mystery and romance. Were these genuine images of a real romance, or a carefully posed travelogue? Taking in locations from the Eastern Bloc through to the Caribbean, US and Europe, they offer up a world of lost delight.
