Bianchi took that camera to the Pines on summer weekends, those pictures became the book Fire Island Pines, Polaroids 1975 – 1983 published in 2013, but whereas Fire Island is an expansive communal experience happening on a sunny sand bar outside of the city under huge open skies, Tom’s New York apartment was an intimate track-lit den – a safe stage where he and his friends invited each other to play out their erotic night games.

‘ Titled '63 E. 9th Street: NYC Polaroids 1975-1983, ' the photographer welcomes readers into his former New York City apartment to be free and sensual. ’

Cullen Ormond, L'Officiel

Tom’s New York City Polaroids take us behind the closed door of his apartment, “Back then we were in the early days of a revolution that seemed inevitably headed to a more loving, playful and tolerant way of being. We were innocents”, Bianchi recalls. This is an essential companion book to Fire Island Pines and an important document of urban gay life.
