The talk is taking place in conjunction with "More Glitter—Less Bitter," an exhibition of Nicoletta's work which runs June 4 through July 10, 2010. The talk is set for Saturday, June 5, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., at Electric Works, 130 8th St., San Francisco. Tickets are $100.00 each and only available through the GLBT Historical Society website or at the gallery on the evening of the talk. Seating is very limited; advance reservations are highly encouraged. All proceeds from the evening will be donated to the GLBT Historical Society; the full ticket cost is tax deductible. A poignant romp through Nicoletta's vigilant documentation of San Francisco's gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender communities, the "More Glitter—Less Bitter" show is the photographer's first in San Francisco since his acclaimed 1996 retrospective at Levi Strauss headquarters. In 1975 Daniel Nicoletta was hired by Harvey Milk to work in Milk's Castro Street camera store. There, at age 19, Nicoletta's life path as a documentarian for that emerging scene began. Milk was one of the first openly gay elected officials in the world and he became a symbol of courage for the LGBT civil rights movement after he was assassinated in 1978. The images in "More Glitter—Less Bitter" will highlight significant moments from the past 35 years of Nicoletta's work, including still photos taken on the set of Gus Van Sant's Academy Award winning film "MILK," in which actor Lucas Grabeel portrayed Nicoletta. The GLBT Historical Society collects, preserves, and interprets the history of GLBT people and the communities that support them. Celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, the institution sponsors exhibits and programs on an on-going basis and is set to open an expanded museum space in the Castro District in summer 2010.
