A Camera In Some Hands Can Preserve An Alternate History

This space is an attempt to gather information about David Wojnarowicz, as his art continues to influence "the social landscape".  I also plan to go off on completely unrelated tangents, personal, political and otherwise.  For my birthday in 1992 I was given Wojnarowicz's Close to the Knives and have considered him an idol and influence ever since.
"A camera in some hands can preserve an alternate history."  This quote is from CttK but I just read it in Brush Fires in the Social Landscape, the fabulous Aperture 137.  I'm pleased to see him (what shall I call him? how many times can i type David, Wojnarowicz, DW?, W?, Waje(no)) spreading.
