DESCRIPTION:
LGBT: San Francisco is an essential gay history and a stunning photographic work that is not to be missed.. Nicoletta is best known for his iconic images of Harvey Milk, one of the world’s first openly gay elected officials, who was assassinated by a homophobic colleague in 1978. In 2014, one of Nicoletta’s photographs was used on a US Harvey Milk Forever stamp. He serves as a key point person for LGBT civil rights and Milk-related research. Today, Nicoletta continues to document the reverberations of Milk’s legacy. Nicoletta portrayed glittering drag queens, the alternative theater world and the steadfast bravery of same-sex couples trying to live their lives amid often adverse cultural sea changes. This is the first book dedicated to his powerful photographs documenting the journey of the burgeoning lesbian-gay-bisexual-transgender mecca that was San Francisco in the 1970s through to the present. Glittering drag queens, gay politics and alternative theater: Nicoletta was at the heart of the gay mecca that was 1970s San FranciscoDaniel Nicolett

"Fantastic Photographs of San Francisco's LGBT Community" according to Foster Corbin. Daniel Nicoletta’s LGBT SAN FRANCISCO is a treasure trove of photographs from the early 1970’s to the present. There are roughly three hundred pages in this large book filled with both black and white and color photos that capture this city that so many of us love from a distance and certainly even more so when we visit. I first became aware of Mr. Nicoletta’s work when I saw his most famous image, that of Harvey Milk with that great smile and necktie flapping, in a photo exhibit in a gay bar here in Atlanta—it . Delish! Dee-Dee Stout Gorgeous photos shot by an absolute expert eye transport you right into the scene that was the delicious insanity of 1970's and beyond SF in the Castro! While I was lucky enough to witness some of this, I wish I had moved to SF at 18 myself to work alongside Dan at the Castro Camera Shop. This opus showing us so much of the crescendo of the Queer Rights movement explodes on each page in marvelous detail and with loving tenderness. I can't wait for more volumes!!. you will make all sorts of wonderful sounds as you turn the pages pranaspa A treasureauthentic talent Daniel had access to people and places that not one will ever againif you were there, as we were, you will make all sorts of wonderful sounds as you turn the pagesif you were not there, well, then you'll wish you were because Dan captured the spirt with hi amazing talent.
