{"product_id":"the-new-gypsies","title":"The New Gypsies","description":"Now available in a new edition, this book is photographer Iain Mckell’s extraordinary and breathtakingly beautiful glimpse into the lives of present-day nomads whose culture is built around ideals of freedom, nature, and simplicity. Unrelated to the Roma, the new gypsies began in 1986 when a group of Post-Punk Anti-Thatcher protesters headed out of London into the English countryside. McKell followed these New Age Travelers to the West Country and over the years he watched them become a hybrid tribe–the new gypsies–present-day rural anarchists, living in elaborately decorated horse-drawn caravans. Known as \"Horsedrawn,\" the new gypsies share a desire for sustainability, a love of self-reliance, and a disdain for the trappings of contemporary life. For more than a decade McKell has focused his lens on travelers of all ages: parents, children, couples, and loners. With sensitivity and honesty he captures a way of life that seems at once romantic, strange, beautiful, and simple. The result is a deeply insightful portrayal of a culture that eschews the traditional creature comforts of urban life in favor of the simplicity and freedom of the natural world.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 3791349961\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.3791349961.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:McKell, Iain\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
