Just came across an amazing body of work by Alvin Baltrop. Incredibly creative, he expertly documented the dilapidated pier area of New York City as well as the cruising scene that was happening there. Images masterfully capture exquisite erotic scenes. Wikipedia provides the following brief summary:
Alvin Baltrop (December 11, 1948 – February 1, 2004) was an American photographer. Baltrop's work focused on the dilapidated Hudson River piers and gay men during the 1970s and 1980s prior to the AIDS crisis.
I aspire to what he has created in my own work!
