Przywara, and he told the most bald-faced lies to Judge Chuck Miller. The district attorney prosecutor first called police officer John W. You’ve got to fill that out now.” So we did all of those criminal court procedural things that John didn’t know about, and the preliminary hearing began. I found John Albach and said, “John, have you filled out an application for probation?”Īnd I said, “I know, but if you don’t fill out that application and he is found guilty by the court, he doesn’t get probation. So I got a quick summary of what facts Barbara knew, and I showed up outside County Criminal Court No. And he has never stepped foot in a criminal courtroom. He’s representing a friend … someone he knows … in a criminal case involving allegations of public lewdness in a police bust at the Village Station. My law partner, John Albach, is going to commit legal malpractice. So Barbara called me and said, “Don, I need your help. Barbara was a classmate of mine in law school who eventually became an appeals court judge and a senior attorney in the Dallas City Attorney’s office, but at this time, in 1979, she was a practicing attorney. It was a Sunday evening when I received a call from fellow attorney Barbara Rosenberg. I hadn’t heard about this particular bust at the time. But in 1979 a group of young, activist gay men stood up to the Dallas police.
Bar raids in the late 1970s were not rare. The building which still stands at 4001 Cedar Springs and Throckmorton was a gay bar called Village Station, where Zephyr Bakery Café is now located. Don Eastman of the Metropolitan Community Church were important in coalescing the gay community of Dallas to finally stand up against continued police harassment. One of the most poignant recollections about the Village Station event, in retrospect, is an article which appeared in D Magazine in January of 2010 and was written by Campbell Read – a dear friend and donor to AIDS Services of Dallas, a retired professor of statistics at S.M.U., and who was, in the early years, a board member of the Dallas Gay Alliance. This was an episode that, in a sense, transformed a small but cohesive activist community that had emerged from the Dallas Gay Alliance, which I had become a member of in 1977. One of the most important things that I was involved with as a young lawyer was related to the “Village Station Busts” on October 25, 1979. And don't forget to tip the boyz!!! They work hard for their money.I moved to Texas on April 30, 1969, completed college at University of Texas at Arlington I worked as a juvenile probation officer at Dallas County, went to law school in San Antonio, became a lawyer and practiced law for thirteen years before taking my present job as President and CEO at AIDS Services of Dallas. Until next time, capture your own peak moments and share them with us.
4001 DALLAS GAY BAR TRIAL
My goal is to shoot "studio style at the club"! That means I want to use fog, colored lights, lasers and even the dance pole, and make the dancer look focused and sharp with the "natural" club type setting - such as with my quick trial attempts with pornstar Jake Austin (twitter ) while at BJs NXS during Razzle Dazzle Dallas".(Jake Austin pic below) I love to try to shoot something different than everyone else is. Not only does Damon take great pics of sexy men, he's a sexy man himself! Thanks for sharing your work with us Damon!ĭamon says of his work "I like to take dancers away from the bars/poles sometimes and capture them with some controlled lighting. Click on any of the pics to visit his website. Enjoy the gallery below of his work! And stop by his facebook page to say hello. He shows us the other characteristics of exotic male dancers that have reeled us in and made us lifetime fans.
Whether discovered in a shot with great attitude, feats of physical prowess, displays of sexual attraction or posturing, or sometimes various expressions on the pretty-boy face, Damon shows us more than skin. With Damon's photos you not only get hot male dancers wearing little clothing, you make a visual connection with the person that is the dancer. Check out his website or facebook page and you'll see what we mean!
However, we want to make it clear that Damon's talents go far beyond male dancers. Since this is a blog for and about exotic male dancers, the photos depicted here reflect that subject matter. We are featuring some of those moments in this blog. Since that time we have continued to follow his work with great pleasure! Damon has a knack for capturing peak moments with his camera. Damon was kind enough to provide some of the photos for the feature. The photographer Damon Frazier first came to our attention in October 2010 when we featured a Dallas area exotic male dancer named Tim in a blog.
