Marcos (on Polk Street) Possibly 1987 - 1994

"Marcos (on Polk Street)" is a black and white photograph by Jim Goldberg, taken sometime between 1987 and 1994. The image features a transgender woman named Marcos standing on Polk Street in San Francisco, a street known for its LGBTQ+ nightlife. Goldberg's work often focuses on marginalized communities, and this photograph exemplifies his approach to social documentary photography. The intimate portrait of Marcos, captured against the backdrop of the city, speaks volumes about the lived experiences of transgender individuals in urban environments. This photograph, part of Goldberg's larger series "Raised by Wolves," is a powerful testament to the strength and resilience of transgender individuals.
