Summary

"The ultimate chronicler of New York's downtown scene, and therefore of a signal moment in gay culture, was Fred W. McDarrah, the first staff photographer and first picture editor of the legendary Village Voice. On the streets in the aftermath of Stonewall, at the first marches, and among the activists and artists who defined the movement through the 1990s, McDarrah's camera engaged with the period's chaos, anger, and intense optimism. As the critic Hilton Als puts in his foreword, McDarrah deserves a lasting place in New York's alternative history not only for his documentation of a world in transformation, but for his work as 'an agent of change himself'"--Cover
