Timeline

1930

Leonard Fink (1930–1992) was an American photographer who documented his own LGBT culture in New York City from 1967 to 1992.

Fink was born in New York City in 1930 and grew up on the West Side of Manhattan.

He was raised an Orthodox Jew but as an adult he was non-observant.

His father and older brother were physicians.

1935

Fink was self-taught in photography, using a 35 mm camera and a home-made darkroom in his small apartment on West 92nd street.

1950

Fink gained an undergraduate degree from Louisiana State University, then served in the army in the early 1950s.

Later he gained a law degree from New York Law School.

1954

His first photographs date from 1954, of friends, holidays in Europe, and scenes in New York City.

His complete photographic archive, consisting of work from 1954 to 1992, is held in the archive of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center in New York City.

1967

"His photographs of gay life begin with groups of gay men photographed in Greenwich Village in 1967" and he continued to focus on his own LGBT culture in New York City throughout the 1970s and 1980s.

1970

He photographed the annual Pride Marches beginning with the first in 1970; the West Village's gay bar culture; and in particular the abandoned West Side piers where men cruised and had sexual encounters.

He neither published nor exhibited his work in his lifetime, but posthumously exhibitions have been held in the Schwules Museum in Berlin and at the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art in New York City.

A book, Leonard Fink: Coming Out, was published on the occasion of the latter exhibition.

His work is held in the archive of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center in New York City.

He photographed many of the annual Pride Marches beginning with the first in 1970—the Christopher Street Liberation Day march; the West Village's gay bar culture, especially on West Street; and in particular the abandoned West Side Hudson River piers, such as Christopher Street Pier.

The rundown piers served as a space for gay men to interact and Fink photographed the cruising and sexual encounters, including his own.

He made both candid photographs as well as those where his subjects knew they were being photographed.

Elsewhere too, he often made self-portraits.

Fink neither published nor exhibited his photographs in his lifetime, sharing them only with close friends.

At the time of his death he had over 5,000 prints and around 25,000 negatives.

Little is known about him.

Most of his working life was spent as a lawyer for the New York City Transit Authority, where he investigated and defended the city against accident claims.

"He lived frugally, spending much of his income on photographic supplies."

1980

Fink was "well known in the gay scene of the West Village of the early 1980s" He "was a colorful and ubiquitous character in the Village and at Pride parades, usually appearing on rollerskates in short cut-offs, and a tight t-shirt with cameras always around his neck. He sometimes arrived on a bicycle or a motorcycle."

He died of complications relating to AIDS.
