In the era of these photos--between 1979 and 1986--as well as for many years before and more than a decade after, nearly everything that was commonly considered "gay" either happened on streets like these or was tangentially connected to them. The special world that reality created can be seen in all its heat, humor, and intimacy in Blair's photographs. The cliche is to call what these photos capture "a community." But, to me, it has more to do with a sensibility and an experience, ones that, however divorced from the current world, remain deeply embedded in something eternal: History.--From the introduction by Jim Farber. 600 10 $a Blair, Nicholas, $d 1956- 650 0 $a Sexual minorities $z United States $y 20th century $v Pictorial works. 650 0 $a Gays $z United States $y 20th century $v Pictorial works. 650 0 $a Portrait photography. 650 0 $a Street photography. 650 7 $a Portrait photography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01072259 650 7 $a Sexual minorities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01202158 650 7 $a Street photography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01134710 650 7 $a LGBTQ+ people $y 20th century $v Pictorial works $2 homoit 655 7 $a Photobooks. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919950 655 7 $a Pictorial works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423874 655 7 $a Photobooks. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Farber, Jim, $e writer of introduction. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231219011431.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F9C32E2656B111EEB3013A8641ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
