Robert Pedantic

Mr. Stellar calls this Piers photo Robert Pedantic.

 

No title

I don't have a title for this one, but it definitely looks like a Piers photo.

 

Piers Quickie

This unnamed item looks like a hastily taken Piers photo.

 

Dennis

Dennis Frost dropped his pants for this 1981 Piers photo.

 

Stanley Stellar at the Piers

We return to the Piers in New York for today's set, and all the photos are by Stanley Stellar.

We begin with Robert Feeling Free from 1983,

 

Gimme Dick

Stanley Stellar called this photo Gimme Dick

 

Brian Michaels

Here we have Brian Michaels from 1981.

 

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.

 

Danny

This is Danny from 1982.

 

Interesting assortment

I find the assorted nature of the men and activity here to be very interesting.

 

Rick Daccard

Our final Stanley Stellar Piers photo is Rick Daccard from 1981.

 

The Piers

Today we revisit The Piers, that NYC gay mecca of the 1970s.  Our first photo is a Stanley Stellar shot of Peter Hujar and some Keith Haring work around a door frame.  You'll see more of that later.

 

Alvin Baltrop I

I really like the lighting in this Alvin Baltrop 

photo of a man taking off his pants.

 

Leonard Fink I

Even though there's only a peekaboo money shot,

I reall like the perspective and scale in this Leonard Fink photo.

 

Stanley Stellar II

Our only color item of the day is from Stanley Stellar.

Is that a Keith Haring drawing?

 

Alvin Baltrop ii

It was 1975 when Alvin Baltrop took this window ledge photo at the Piers.

 

Stanley Stellar III

This is J.D. Slater and the Barking Dog by Stanley Stellar.

Keith Haring provided the canine pursuit graffiti.
