From Skylar Epstein’s article for the Fire Island News:
A woman wearing mirrored sun- glasses is staring at you. Someone with a mustache is kissing one side of her face and another person is licking the other side of her face. In the reflec- tion of the mirrored sunglasses, you see a photographer holding a camera. That photographer is Meryl Meisler and you are looking at a photograph she took on Fire Island during the 1970s.
The photograph described above is one of the images featured in the “FIRE IS- LAND The Photography of Meryl Meisler” exhibition at The Werk Gallery in St. Pe- tersburg, Florida this month. The exhibi- tion is a collaboration between Meisler, the Fire Island Pines Historical Preserva- tion Society (FIPHPS), and The Werk Gal- lery to celebrate 1970s gay culture.
