R.I.P. Duane Michals


Several weeks ago, we lost two giants of both the art and gay worlds.  David Hockney's demise 
was all over my news feed, but I had to learn from several of my viewers that groundbreaking photographer Duane Michaels had died a couple of days earlier.  (Mr. Hockney makes an 
appearance here today, btw.)  I am ignoring my 1985 cutoff year for the blog this once 
because I wanted to give a fuller sampling of the remarkable artist's work.  With one 
possible exception (unknown date) I am presenting the images in chronological order.  
We start with a self portrait Mr. Michaels called Upside Down Portrait.
