Gay Men Rule!!!
I was just invited to join this blogging community ---
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.

Hey Matt, congrats on the cool review! Awesome pic.
Daniel -- I'm blushing!
I do love that pot photo, and the dude is really hot! I love men with long hair. . .
Gina -- Quite true! I like that! ...but I'm still going to have Ing take a picture of me and B kissing on the newly contsturcted steps!!!!
Ing! Yeah, hot isn't he?!!?! Weed and long-hair'd hippie gay dudes in the mid-70's! I was born in the wrong decade!!!
hey! Where are those steps?! I think we should re create it before they are torn down!
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!!!!
Okay, I'll bring my camera on Friday/Saturday night!! Remind me to recharge my batteries. . .
I so love that Mary Jane picture. That man is beautiful!!
The Persian -- Yeah, isn't he a dream! Great picture captured by a very talented artist.
I love the photos you post Matt! Although I'm not 100% sure about that one of you holding your crotch ....
