I took several hundred self-portraits with the Polaroid One-Step SX-70 camera in 1978. The artists whose work at the time captivated me were Lucas Samaras, Egon Schiele, and Rudolf Schwarzkogler. To document my life as a 21-year-old queer art punk, I used the Polaroid, multiple journals and performance. I posed, like any good punk, to put you off and to attract you just the same; its all the same.

No New York at Cafe Flore, November 13, 1978
fliers for my Monday night dj gig at Cafe Flore. We used to listen to records at the Flore then head to the Stud to dance after the Flore closed, when the Stud was still across from Hamburger Mary's on Folsom at Eleventh. Cafe Flore, affectionately Cafe Hairdo at some point, is still serving coffee, food and drinks at 2298 Market in SF in 2009, and turntables are still part of the decor.
