This sixty-ninth

Life magazine founded in 1883 by John Ames Mitchell. Until 1936 it was a purely entertainment publication. Jokes unmalicious social commentary, pictures.
In 1936 it was bought by publisher Henry Luce. He made his first US news photo magazines. And out on a weekly basis in 1972. Then there was a six-year break and resume activities until closing due to rub profitability, but in a monthly format.
Life is very tight tracking American life and in their reports are well conveyed the atmosphere of those years. In our case - a New York 1969. Was an interesting year. Woodstock and Zeppelin's first album, gay riot in the Village and the flight of Apollo 11 to the moon. The last concert and the last album the Beatles. "The Godfather" Puzo. And much more.
And people lived their lives. Happy, sad. And enters the lens of photographers. By the way, pay attention to fashion. Many accessories are often found today.
