Pride. No one does it better than @tombianchi Photos here are from '63 E 9th Street: NYC Polaroids 1975–1983,' published by @damiani_books In 1975 Bianchi moved to New York City, working at Columbia Pictures as in-house counsel. Columbia gave Bianchi a Polaroid SX – 70 camera, which he took to the Pines on summer weekends; those pictures became the 2013 book 'Fire Island Pines: Polaroids 1975–1983.' Now, more than 40 years later, we get a look at another extraordinary collection of Bianchi’s Polaroids, taken in his East 9th St apartment. Whereas Fire Island offers an expansive communal experience situated on a sunny sand bar out in the Atlantic under huge open skies, Bianchi’s New York apartment was an intimate, track-lit den, a safe stage where he and his friends played out erotic night games.
