Excited to see my portrait of Estelle Parsons on her IMDb.com website page! I remember making this for the #latimes in 1990 at her Upper West Side apt. She was lovely, open, couldn’t have been nicer. @balper_nyc #barbaraalperphotography #womenphotographers #gettyimagesarchive

cBarbaraAlper Despite the rain, a massive demonstration was still held in NYC for #NoKingsDay. 16 NYC blocks were packed with people, and there were no “incidents”.

At the #NoKingsDay NYC demonstration, Saturday June 14. Incredible massive turnout despite the rain. So proud to be a New Yorker. #refusefascism

www.newyorker.com/books/page-t... I'm thrilled to see my photo of #pedrolemebel used for this #thenewyorkermagazine article. I had no idea who he was when I photographed him at the 1994 Pride Parade, his costume caught my eye. #lgbtqrights #gaypridenyc #barbaraalperphotography @balper__nyc
Pedro Lemebel, a Radical Voice for Calamitous Times
Lemebel’s writing was entirely focussed on those living on the farthest margins of society—people escaping the norms and seen as different.
