Please upload more of his work - Dick Richards uploading the videos that he did on RU-vid brought Nelson and his friends back to life. There’s so still much of his work not yet seen. It would be a disservice not to publish more of it after being in possession of his collection for so many years.
This is pretty much the Christopher St/Village that I came of age in back in the 70s. Probably shot a bit earlier than I was there regularly (~1975 -->). It also looks to be shot mostly during the day on a weekday. In the evenings and on weekends it was much less mixed and much more crowded with gay men. Many straight folks wouldn't go further west than 7th Ave during those times. So glad that Nelson shot so much film footage of the Village and that it has been preserved and shared!
*....in 1996 at the end of C street by the Hudson river i met a boy named Marcello Velazquez ~~ i will ALWAYS Also love him most!!! ~~ i have alOt in common with **#DrewBarrymore** 💚❤🔥*
Not sure how I ended up at his videos but they're now something I hold as sonhigh value and enriching. I also feel this kind of connection with him from seeing the world through his eyes. A true pioneer and trailblazer. A true selfless artist at a time where he wa surrounded by so many creations who were focused on themselves whether to good or bad effect. So grateful for this art
*i will ALWAYS have SuzannexVega´s `Solitude Standing´ to listen to ... And as sOOn as i find my disc of patti_$mith´s h0rses..i throw it out of one of the many windows the house i´m living in has*
Interesting.i have seen a few of nelsons other movies.i was born in 1975.i take occasional day trips to new york.so this photographic history is fun.that one shot looks like hectors on washington street.
@@harrymonk6 Specifically its new york university that has the tapes and is digitizing and preserving them. Theyre honoring nelson and making sure his works stay around for as long as possible, not stealing his works.
Makes my heart ache with nostalgia. I grew up right there. My mother worked for a Feminist paper called "Majority Report". Offices on Sheridan Sq. They had a famous headline: "SPERM CAUSES CANCER".
