Jennifer Greenburg's portraits take look inside America's Rockabilly community | Mail Online: The community of people Ms Greenburg has documented, she believes, usually have a desire for this kind of joyousness that was lost in the 21st Century. 'Happiness, I believe, is everyone’s primary full-time job. And living a life that resembles, visually, the 1950’s helps make that just a little easier,' she said.
From re-wiring a lamp, to re-sewing the seams of a Fifties cocktail dress, Ms Greenburg added that most true participants of the culture are skilled at repairing and restoring most of their possessions.
'It is not as easy as going down to the shopping center and buying "a look" off the rack,' she said. 'The Rockabillies take preservation into account as
they sculpt their existence. And the culture existed long before it was commonplace to "recycle."'
