Lisa Law American, b. 1943

Lisa Law lives and works in a 100-year-old adobe house in Santa Fe, walking distance from the Farmer's Market, her favorite hang out.  She grows a fruit and vegetable garden in her back yard and her tipi and bus are there as well, always part of her home decor. 

 

Lisa's photographic career began in the early 1960s when she worked as an assistant to a manager in the rock and roll scene. Shooting with a Honeywell Pentax camera and later a Nikon F camera, she had front and backstage access to The Beatles, Peter Paul & Mary, The Kingston Trio, Otis Redding, The Lovin' Spoonful, The Velvet Underground, the Byrds, Janis Joplin and Big Brother & The Holding Company, among other legendary musicians. Hers and her husband, Tom Law's magnificent home in L.A. quickly became a guesthouse called "The Castle" where artists like Alan Ginsberg, Andy Warhol, David Crosby and Dennis Hopper enjoyed spending time.
