SHELTER, In the works for over four years, Lucky Michael's book SHELTER, makes its debut on December 15, 2007 at Exit Art Gallery, 475 10th Avenue, in Manhattan. SHELTER is an ambitious photo-epic that combines Michaels' unique photographic exploration of homeless LGBTQ youth in New York City and powerful interviews and narratives of the residents of Sylvia's Place. As a participant observer, Michaels followed the residents and photographed the youth in their vibrant environment, capturing the moments that tell their stories.
The renowned Exit Art Gallery will be host the launch event which will feature four of New York City's premier DJs spinning the soundtrack.
Join Lucky Michaels and many of those featured in the book to celebrate this long-awaited debut.
