1969 Woodstock Photos versus Present Day Portrayal

Model: Katya.B.  Photo by: Heidi’s Music Channel

As I have always been a fan of the Woodstock Festival, I have created this project in honour of this festival that took place in 1969. The following photographs depict a side by side comparison of young individuals from today’s generation, next to actual photographs taken at the festival in 1969.

Woodstock Music and Art Fair, commonly referred to simply as Woodstock, was a music festival held August 15–18, 1969, on Max Yasgur’s dairy farm in Bethel, New York.
