Kings, Queens, and In-Betweens; Photography by Randall Whitehead.
Randall Whitehead grew up in Delaware and after graduating college, immediately drove to San Francisco, a city where he'd never been, knew no one, and didn’t have a job. He started as a photojournalist for magazines and newspapers, moving into fine art photography as he documented the people and places of his adopted city. One of his goals is to introduce San Francisco to the rest of the world as the creative center for entertainers from the queer community.

#14 Welcome Castro (525 Castro St):
Ed Terpening - This is my “encore career”. After toiling away 20 years in technology and marketing jobs, 911 and a significant health scare, I began thinking of my legacy. Would it be developing a high tech product, or new marketing campaign? Probably not. Both of those careers create ephemeral results. I wanted more, and having forgot to have children ;-), I realized that if I wanted to leave the world a better place than when I entered, I knew I’d need to re-think things. I also saw the world change, from the optimism and exciting changes in the 60’s, to the greed and paranoia of the post 911 world. People need escapes. One of the highest complements collectors give is “I feel like I’ve been to that place, I’m taken there“. That’s my motivation.
Welcome Castro will feature an event with live model w/ 6 artists sketching |
