Tom Bianchi got his first SX-70 Polaroid camera at an executive conference in Miami. Not the most bohemian origin story, but then again, the Chicago-born Bianchi was a corporate lawyer. After studying political science in New Mexico, he earned his law degree from Northwestern. He practiced for 10 years and, at the age of 34, made senior counsel at Columbia Pictures in Manhattan.
In cities, police regularly conducted raids on bars, bathrooms, and known cruising locations. Being gay could cost you your job, your home, or your life. Fire Island was the first place many queer people were able to feel free — letting loose at afternoon tea dances, sharing showers, partying after sunset, skinny dipping, or simply holding hands on the beach openly for the first time.
