Abstract
we cite parts from the autobiographic afterword: "... black and white photographs from the 1970s and 80s document a part of New York City that has disappeared. It was a rough and unpolished environment. I went to festivals, block parties, and all the parades.. During the summers I returned to the beaches of my childhood, Coney Island and Brighton Beach.. I photographed at Riis Beach's Bay One, the only nude bay in New York. When I was invited to clubs and discos I brought my camera; Studio 54, GG's Barnum Room, Le Clique, Les Mouches, Paradise Garage, and the roller disco Empire Rollerdrome had glamour, grit, sexual exhibitionism, and a sense of wild and free self-expression in a world before the AIDS epdidemic...."
