in the fall of 1977 I moved back to Florence, Massachusetts, into the home of filmmaker Tom Joslin and his partner, Mark Massi, where these pics were taken. I worked that fall at Hampshire College in the photo department, checking out equipment, getting film developed for students, being the resident punk. Mark and I were closer; Tom was teaching at Hampshire, and Mark more the house husband/artist. Mark is likely the person shooting these self-portraits for me.
Tom and Mark were profiled after their deaths in 1989 from HIV/AIDS in the documentary Silverlake Life: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108138/
