Woodstock Couple 17 - 1969

Burk Uzzle's "Woodstock Couple" captures the spirit of the iconic 1969 music festival. The photograph, taken between August 17 and 19, showcases a couple embracing amidst the sprawling crowd. They are shrouded in a blanket, their faces partially obscured, symbolizing the sense of intimacy and community that defined the counterculture movement. The background, filled with a sea of people and scattered debris, further emphasizes the chaotic yet joyous atmosphere of Woodstock. This iconic image is a testament to Uzzle's ability to capture the human story amidst a monumental event, capturing the raw emotions and energy of a generation.
