The show is built on her photographic journeys among the city's gay and transgender communities, to which her friend David Armstrong introduced her. Among her work of the period is “Ivy wearing a fall, Boston”.

Her subjects take shape
By the end of the 1970s her circle of subjects takes shape: domestic sketches with her boyfriend Brian, drug-addicted friends, cross-dressers, the New York bohemia. Her themes — sexual assertiveness and confession — are tied to gender, provocation and the new realism.
