PLUMBBOB/STOKES/dirigible – Nevada test Site, August 7, 1957.

The tail, or “After” section of a U.S. Navy Goodyear ZSG-3 Blimp is shown with the Stokes cloud in background. The dirigible was in temporary free flight in excess of five miles from ground zero when collapsed by the shock wave from the blast. The airship was unmanned and was used in military effects experiments on blast and heat.

Times Square, Manhattan (late 1960s). Photographed by Eiichiro Sakata.

Sakata was a Japanese photographer who worked with famed photographer Richard Avedon while he was on trip for Vogue in 1965. Avedon invited him to New York the following year and became his darkroom printer. On weekends, he roamed around Manhattan, taking portraits in Times Square from 1966-1969.

Times Square, known for its theatres and hotels in the early 20th century, was in rapid decline by the mid-1960s. The Great Depression and city decline brought more adult forms of entertainment, such as burlesque shows and dance halls. Sex work started to become prevalent in the area. The introduction of the 25-cent peep-show in 1966 brought even more explicit forms of entertainment and commerce, like porn theatres and shops. The Port Authority Bus Terminal became a known pipeline for runaways coming to the city and the sex work industry.

The 1970s are often remembered for block-long gas lines, shuttered factories, high unemployment and stagflation, all of which combined to give the period a feeling of inertia giving way to slow-moving collapse. Yet these years were characterized by considerable flux as well. Small but growing numbers of African Americans entered the ranks of the middle class, women moved into the workplace and into nightlife, and gays vacated the shadowy margins of American life. Disco’s one-nation-under-a-thump impulse sometimes gave way to tribal reversion, but it nonetheless succeeded in integrating American nightlife to an extent unthinkable just a decade earlier. Pornography began moving out of seedy red-light districts and into respectable businesses–corner newsstands, drugstores, and convenience stores–and into American homes, as a result of video technology. the near ubiquity of pornography, the resurgence of feminism, the ready availability of the birth-control pill, the legalization of abortion, and the discofying of nightlife remade America’s sexual landscape in ways that created unprecedented (and sometimes risky) possibilities of sexual pleasure for women. Meanwhile, the feminist assault on masculine privilege, defeat in Vietnam, deindustrialization, and affirmative action posed challenges for American men. These were combustible times.

Clocks: La mirada del tiempo

En 2018 publiqué por primera vez esta obra, hace ya mucho, pero mucho tiempo de eso, ahora que estoy desempolvando mi nostalgia, la he encontrado de nuevo y me he puesto a leerla apropiadamente. He descubierto que a mis 17 años no creaba tanta basura como siempre pensé.
