Nicoletta is perhaps most well known for his iconic images of Harvey Milk, one of the world's first openly gay elected officials who was assassinated by a homophobic colleague in 1978, but Nicoletta's 40-year ouvre is also a unique insider's perspective on the years that followed Milk's death taking us through the ebuliance and the pathos of the times.
