Gay Men Rule!!!

I was just invited to join this blogging community ---
  • Gay Men Rule!I am so excited! It's cool to be asked to add my ideas to the mix! Check it out! Anyway, just put up my first post there. It was a post I was planning for here. ...Related to this photograph taken by Crawford Barton. He really captured the 70's era of The Castro in San Francisco. His work captured everything from joy to sadness to the erotic. So, I will just post the picture on my blog. It says a lot by itself. The stairs are about to be demolished. I will also add another picture taken by Mr. Barton.This one is called Steve With MaryJane. I've always liked it. Sexy and takes us back to a time when it was "bold" to pose with your pot plant. I like that.

    Oh, and I love getting emails but I hope that a few of you who read my blog will start to feel more comfortable about posting a comment here and there! I like the exchange that this creates from time to time. You know, you can still hide your identity if that is a concern!

    I love these pictures. Especially the one with the Mary Jane...it has such an ethereal quality about it.

    Kalvin -- Yeah, isn't it a cool picture?!?! Actually, I've never seen a picture from him I didn't like.

    Tommy - No, I wish I did. I sent an email to the SF GLBT Historical Society to see if they knew anything. I know there a several books out there of his work. I believe this one appears in a collection of his Castro photos. Maybe someone will read this and know more. I am fairly certain that we lost Barton in the early 90's. Hope I'm wrong about that, but I don't think I am.

    Gina -- I know. But, let me romantize a bit.

    Kelilicous -- It is Castro right by where The Patio used to be but still has the glowing neon sign that no one ever turned off!!! Now, grab a boy and go get your picture taken, quick!!!!
