Folsom Street Food Court is a documentary photography monograph that captures San Francisco’s infamous Folsom Street Fair. The images feature people in various states of dress and undress meandering around the street fair food court. Although the city of San Francisco has gentrified much over this span, the Folsom Street Fair seems to maintain its authenticity.
"in these divided times, no matter where you come from or where you’re going, we all come together at the food court."
Vice’s irreverence and determination not to kowtow to advertisers has led to an aesthetic that began simply as unique but has grown into a culture that has defined an entire epoch of underground photography.
