In 1976, the New Delhi-born photographer Sunil Gupta came to New York to study under the legendary Lisette Model at the New School. On the weekends, he would spend his time cruising on Christopher Street with his camera. It was the heady days after Stonewall and before AIDS when Gupta and his peers were young and busy creating a gay public space that hadn’t been seen before. “I came to photography in the early 1970s. What was initially just a hobby quickly found a purpose in the fledgling gay liberation movement, documenting gay rights marches as well as the burgeoning gay scene. In retrospect these pictures have become both nostalgic and iconic for a very important moment in my personal history,” says Gupta. This out-of-print spiral-bound book captures the body of work made during that fleeting period in 1976.
