Beemer Memory 27: Jim Stewart ~ photograher & friend

Today, October 18, is the birthday of my friend, Jim Stewart, who  documented the leather scene in San Francisco during the late seventies and into the eighties with his intimate and insightful images. I was fortunate to have been one of his models for his photo shoots and was in various events and performances he photographed (links below).          

I will never forget the times we worked together on his shoots; actually, it was not work, it was a joy to participate in his vision and passion!    
 
He reveled in life and I loved the hours we shared viewing films, attending parties and living to the fullest. I celebrate his presence in my life.       
 
Jim died from pneumonia on October 15, 2018, at his home in Ludington, Michigan.
