Bare-Breasted Woman, Second Annual Dyke Pride March, Boston
June 8, 1996

"This was a lucky shot. The woman in the photograph was there and when I turned around, she was gone. I was told that she was not a Lesbian Avenger; nonetheless she appears in this photo as the iconic representative of that group. When I looked at the contact sheet, I realized that this photograph was taken as the Dyke March joined the Gay Pride March in Copley Square. In reviewing the shots I took just before this one, I thought it looked as if she were standing on the controversial bed float in the march on which two women simulated sex acts."
