Series I: Photographic Materials
Scope and Contents
Series I: Photographic Materials is arranged into four subseries. Subseries A: Locations Photography includes contact sheets, negatives, photographs, and slides. Subseries B: Portraiture preserves contact sheets, negatives, photographs, and slides. Subjects include Boyle' s "Photobooth" and "Tattoo Mike" series, as well as snapshots of bodybuilders, drag queens, friends, LGBT activists, and unique hair styles. Subseries C: Coursework holds photographic materials not directly associated with the previous subseries in addition to lesson packets associated with the photo-retouching course that Boyle took in 1983. Subseries D: Photobooth Pictures comprises primarily of self-portraits.
