Signed Silver Gelatin Photograph Peter Orlovsky, Herbert Huncke Beatnik Photo
By Fred McDarrah
Located in Surfside, FL
Peter Orlovsky and Herbert Huncke - March 7 1960
Over a 50-year span, McDarrah documented the rise of the Beat Generation, the city’s postmodern art movement, its off-off-Broadway actors, troubadours, politicians, agitators and social protests.

For years, McDarrah was the Voice's only photographer and, for decades, he ran the Voice’s photo department, where he helped train dozens of young photographers, including James Hamilton, Sylvia Plachy, Robin Holland...
