Cruising on Christopher Street: Sunil Gupta's nostalgic images of New York's gay scene in 1976

"I came to photography in the early 1970s. What was initially just a hobby quickly found a purpose in the fledgeling gay liberation movement, documenting gay rights marches as well as the burgeoning gay scene," says Sunil. "In retrospect, these pictures have become both nostalgic and iconic for a very important moment in my personal history."

Brought together in a new book, Christopher Street 1976 by Sunil Gupta, published by STANLEY/BARKER.
