San Francisco’s ‘last vibrant time’: Photographer captures city’s 1990s queer renaissance

Oakland photographer Chloe Sherman’s new book of images immerses viewers in the last time San Francisco might be able to say it lived up to its promise of being an epicenter of American counterculture.In the 1990s, San Francisco was the focus of a queer cultural renaissance, largely based in the Mission District. Then in her 20s, Sherman was part of this liberating, boundary-pushing social scene. Camera always in hand, she copiously photographed her friends — stylish and spirited queer youth, punks and artists — hanging out at clubs or around the neighborhood, at the beach or in the intimacy of their apartments.These photos now star in “Renegades: San Francisco the 1990s” (128 pages, Hatje Cantz).

Just before the dot-com boom, the city also remained affordable e...
