Thomas Roma

In the Vale of Cashmere


  • Powerhouse Books
  • by G. Winston James (Introduction)
In the Vale of Cashmere marks the culmination of photographer Thomas Roma's four-year odyssey into the darkest realms of a little known corner of Prospect Park, Brooklyn, where gay cruising dominates the wooded areas and trails. The Vale of Cashmere, as it is known, is an anonymous, secret meeting ground where scores of men, mostly of African American descent, find one another for sex where such encounters occur between men of all walks of life, many of them identifying not as gay but as heterosexuals.

Description

The Vale of Cashmere is an anonymous, secret meeting ground where scores of men, mostly of African American descent, find one another for sex where such encounters occur between men of all walks of life. Originally conceived solely as a portrait project in Brooklyn's underworld, the more time photographer Roma spent in the Vale of Cashmere, the more the physical beauty of the Vale became inseparable from the portraits and many landscape photographs were included in the book. A haunting tribute, uncovering a much more human and sensitive side to this area.
