The legendary Brooklyn-born photographer Stanley Stellar, who had been a contemporary of Robert Mapplethorpe,  is about to publish a new magnificent epic book of his work that may be his finest yet. He has been chronicling the continual gay scene in N.Y. for the past 50 years, and INTO THE LIGHT is a fascinating history of the New York Pride Parade from the 1970’s until now.

It is published by Bruno Gmuender and can be pre-ordered from Amazon until it is available on March 18 2017. Take a look at mere few of the photos, and  you will see that this vital record of the city’s LGBT history,  is so well worth the wait.
