Daniel Nicoletta to sign 'LGBT: San Francisco' after Metrograph screening of 'The Times of Harvey Milk'

Monday, June 19, photographer Daniel Nicoletta will sign copies of his new monograph LGBT: San Francisco at Metrograph, following a 7 PM screening of Rob Epstein's 1984 feature documentary, 'The Times of Harvey Milk.'

DANIEL NICOLETTA (born 1954) has been a leading chronicler of the LGBT civil rights movement in San Francisco over the last 40 years. Published by Reel Art Press, LGBT: San Francisco is the first book dedicated to Nicoletta's powerful photographs documenting the burgeoning lesbian-gay-bisexual-transgender mecca that was San Francisco in the 1970s through to the present.

Nicoletta is best known for his iconic images of Harvey Milk, one of the world’s first openly gay elected officials, who was assassinated by a homophobic colleague in 1978. Nicoletta portrayed glittering drag queens, the alternative theater world and the steadfast bravery of same-sex couples trying to live their lives amid often adverse cultural sea changes. Today, Nicoletta continues to document the reverberations of Milk’s legacy. He serves as a key point person for LGBT civil rights and Milk-related research. In 2014, one of Nicoletta’s photographs was used on a U.S. Harvey Milk Forever Stamp. LGBT: San Francisco is an essential gay history and a stunning photographic work that is not to be missed.
