Slideshow & Talk

Charles has most recently been working with Jack Boulware on a book called A Bohemian History of SF. Join his slide show for lots of boho info, both verbal and visual, historical and modern.

“If you don’t already own one of Charles Gatewood’s photographs, books or videos, you have no right to call yourself a member of the underground. This ever curious chronicler of the culturally peculiar has been taking photographs for 30 years, and he shows no signs of slowing down.”-Paper Magazine

Trickster is a creator, a joker, a truth teller, a story teller, a transformer linked to the spiritual frequency changes humanity is experiencing at this time.

“We seem most accessible to the synchronistic gifts of the Trickster when we ourselves are at or near boundaries or are experiencing transition states, periods of major life transitions seem to be occasioned by an abundance of meaningful coincidence. Personal gtrirowth sees not only to facilitate synchronicity, but in turn to be facilitated by it. As an archetype, the Trickster, the boundary dweller, finds expression through human imagination and experience.”
