Flat
My source had only a stock number for this one, but a search turned
up several references to it as Piers, Late Afternoon, 1979.
Topsy Turvy Clone
Stanley Stellar called this one Sunday Spray, 1981,
but I call it Topsy Turvy Wet Gay Clone.
FWIW, I find him quite attractive.
Red II
Mr. Stellar called this one Red II, and it's from 1984, quite late in the Piers history.
I believe they started demolishing the location shortly after this.
Scott Pink
I think the man here was called Scott Pink, and if my source is correct, the photo
was made on Stanley Stellars first ever visit to the Piers in 1976.
Interesting assortment
I find the assorted nature of the men and activity here to be very interesting.

Stanley Stellar
One of the things I like most about doing this blog is that I often find "new" photographers while doing research for topical themes. That happened again recently when I was doing a series on The Piers of the West Village, and several excellent photos by Stanley Stellar showed up. That led me to a wealth of material on line and a quick and deep respect for Mr. Stellar's work. As I discovered and you will see, he was not obsessed with in your face genitalia like some of his peers, but he still conveys impactful sexuality. The photo above was made in 1981 by Peter Hujar at The Piers.
For a change of pace, I am only giving model names and dates (when known)
and not writing captions for today's set. I'm asking you viewers to do it in the comments,
and I will reply. There are some subtle and not so subtle elements that you may
enjoy more if you find them for yourselves.
