Woodstock is known for being a time for drinking, partying and great music, and these captures by Anna Muras certainly live up to that epic reputation. Anna Muras' 'Woodstock's Feeling' photographic set contains candid images of strangers found watching various concerts.
A look through this work from Anna Muras is actually quite entertaining, especially for those who agree that people-watching is a great way to pass the time. I only wish I had the guts to take pictures of funny couples like these when I saw them!
