Drag Queens

In the early eighties, Kittle photographed drag queens in the West Village of NYC at Halloween. The action happening on the sidewalk became its own unique brand of street theatre. This was an era of daring, excitement and hilarity that was so full of life. The book these photographs were shot for was put aside as the onslaught of AIDS hit the community. Drag Queens: Street Theater of The 80’s was ultimately published in 2015.
