Jim Wigler
Born in Detroit, photographer Jim Wigler took great pictures of leathermen from the 1980s on, shooting for many gay magazines including Drummer and Honcho. He also mounted several exhibits in San Francisco including "Faces of AIDS," "Viet Nam Vets: Face to Face" and "Stars of the SFPD." Writing in The Advocate, Christopher Harrity said, "[His] images are both sexy and moving. Many of the men are no longer alive, due to both AIDS and age. What began as sexy photo shoots has become, over the years, a soulful archive of a time both magical and tragic."
