Perspective | In service to the magic of the devious, a visual ode to the punks of San Francisco

From 1977 to 1980, Jim Jocoy photographed the San Francisco punk scene, from the stage to the bathroom stalls.

Jim Jocoy became a student at the University of California at Santa Cruz in 1976, at the threshold of the San Francisco punk scene. It took only one year for him to become entranced by the scene, which included bands like the hardcore punk Dead Kennedys. Jocoy dropped out of school to spend his nights taking photographs that documented a completely different subculture in the city, the Summer of Love just a decade behind it.
