One of the most important publications associated with California conceptual photography in the 1970s, reprinted. The new edition of Fischer's book reproduces the look and feel of the original volume. Present are the codes of sexual orientation and identification Fischer saw in San Francisco's Castro and Haight Ashbury districts, ranging from such sexual signifiers as handkerchiefs and keys, to depictions of the gay fashion 'types' of that era-from 'basic gay' to 'hippie' and 'jock'. Also featuring Fischer's critical essay, which is marked by the same wry, anthropological tone found in the image/text configurations
