Seminal Works brings together Hal Fischer's iconic series, Gay Semiotics with his rarely seen early photography and features a dynamic range of essays that consider queer culture and social change in San Francisco. In the late 1970s, as gay men in San Francisco experienced a new sense of freedom following the Stonewall Uprising, Hal Fischer made Gay Semiotics, a photo-text project that categorized denizens of the Castro and Haight-Ashbury neighborhoods by social type such as the "jock" or the "hippie."
