RetroBlakesberg – Volume One: The Film Archives is a 312 page hard cover coffee table book presenting a vast collection of Jay Blakesberg’s iconic images shot on film spanning four decades. Beginning with images from his high school days in the late 1970s up until he went full time digital in 2008, this collection of photographs helps tell the story of the modern-day pop culture landscape documented by Jay.

Each of the book’s four chapters, chronologically arranged by decade, begins with an engaging essay written by Jay wherein he discusses what was going on with his life, his career, and the pop culture he was documenting during the corresponding time period. These essays provide an intimate glimpse into Jay’s personal history and professional development, revealing how closely those paths are intertwined.

Hippie Chick is a fine art, hardcover coffee table book by Jay Blakesberg. 445 images shot over three decades, Hippie Chick celebrates the unique connection between the vibrant community of free-spirited women who are inspired by, and help inspire, live music. Blakesberg's visual anthropology captures the feminine festival and concert archetypes who have graced the fields and performance halls of America since 1980. Earth mamas and fairy princesses, hula hoopers and whirling dervishes, flower crown makers; the entire tribe of dedicated, music-loving women--their fashion and their passion--is brought to life through Blakesberg's artful lens. Iconic rocker Grace Slick provides the book's Foreword, a retrospective of women in the original hippie-era music scene. In the Afterword, modern-day hippie chick Grace Potter considers how women today carry on the legacy of the demographic. Journalist Edith Johnson contributes the book's Introduction and chapter essays, entitled "Love," "Devotion," and "Surrender." Johnson interviewed 81 different women from the live music scene. Their colorful anecdotes have been distilled into a series of quotes selected to accompany Blakesberg's images, bringing further dimension to the book's overarching theme of what it means to be a hippie chick.
