Ruby RayBorn in New York, Ruby Ray migrated to San Francisco in the mid-1970s. She entered the underground scene while working at Tower Records in North Beach. When she acquired her first camera, she quickly turned it into a weapon. Ray shot using a Nikon FMand Tri-X 400 film, the fastest film of its time. While documenting new bands and people for Search & Destroy magazine, she wielded her lens like many young DIY artists were brandishing guitars--bold, carefree, and absolutely necessary. Ray's photos have been collected in the book From the Edge of the World: California Punk, 1977-1981. Read More Read Less
