In June, we honored Gay Pride Month with
two Editions that celebrate the courageous human spirit. The response
was every bit as enthusiastic as we'd hoped it would be!
In 1969, at age nineteen, Anthony Friedkin
began a self-assigned project to document the gay communities blooming
in Los Angeles and San Francisco. The resulting collection, The Gay
Essay, opened this month
to a packed gallery at San Francisco's de Young Museum. The exhibition remains open through January 11, 2015. Our digital Edition, which includes audio commentary by Friedkin, remains open indefinitely.
Vincent Cianni
is making waves with his collection Gays in the Military,
published by Daylight. He appeared on Katie Couric's
show "Katie" on June 9 to talk about the troubling effects of "Don't
Ask, Don't Tell" on U.S. servicemen and women and those closest to
them. We
released Cianni's portraits and their accompanying interviews in
this Edition.
In other great news, Daylight artist
Esther Teichmann's work Fractal Scars, Salt Water and Tears just won the
2014 Photo Levallois Award.
The prestigious award is given annually to a young photographer
submitting a series of yet-unpublished images. The winner receives a
cash prize of €10,000 and an exhibition at
the Photo Levallois Festival in October.
Treat yourself to a look at Teichmann's collection The Photograph as a Portal, which we featured as an Edition in March of 2014.
