The Sex Pistols may have imploded after their notorious final show at SF's now-defunct Winterland Ballroom, but the city's own punk scene couldn't care less that the music's most tabloid-ready cover boys had called it quits. There was enough happening locally — thanks to bands such as Crime, the Tubes, the Avengers, Chrome, and the Dead Kennedys — and photographer Ruby Ray, working for V. Vale's Search and Destroy zine, was there to capture it all. Ray's dynamic black-and-white shots, along with assorted posters and printed ephemera from the SFPL's own collection, tell the story of a wilder, woollier San Francisco that now lives on in the music, and in pictures like hers.
