“The Family Acid” Psychedelic Photography Book by Roger Steffens

Instagram may be a favorite spot to document your extravagant brunches, but for Kate and Devon Steffens, son and daughter of Roger Steffens, collectively better know as The Family Acid, the social media platform has provided a new following and appreciation for their multifaceted father and his secret stunning photographs. Serving in the Psychological Operations division in Vietnam, Roger Steffens began taking photos on his travels and continued to do so for over 40 years. “A journalistic record of his surroundings marked by an increasingly psychedelic lens,” over 40,000 chrome photographs now exist of family, friends, work and beyond.

Marrakech, Camobidia, Jamaica; rock festivals and beach holidays; Steffens would shoot straight landscapes alongside wild and wonderful double exposures informed by experiences whilst on acid. The family’s life was full of adventures, wild road trips and accidental meetings with celebrities and icons of the day – a story almost too crazy to not be true. Now, after over a year of releasing the psyhcadelic shots one at a time via the @thefamilyacid account, we’re treated to over 156 pages of captured moments in the form of this hardcover collection entitled “The Family Acid.” Find out more about the Steffens over at the NYT and purchase at Sun.
