Beautiful! The Idaho bank pic is almost iconic.... And for very good reason. It'd make a good pic for a wall. The one with two guys kissing on a raised sidewalk in front of some stores is another eye catcher

Pics like these make me wonder if despite all the hullabaloo, there might've been certain combination of time, place, and circumstances where it might've been fairly safe to be open. I'm kind of curious about what appear to be liminal (is that the right word?) spaces because maybe of quarter of these pics appear to be in places that were rather public and a kiss would likely be noticed. I'm just kind of curious.

May favor is the @3:30 with three guys, one is shaving another. Not sure why but def my favorite.

Agreed...lots of wondering about these photos. Have you ever seen the uncropped Idaho Bank photo? There are two young ladies standing next to them. Captions I've seen said they were lesbians and the group all hung out together for cover. Who knows what's true. If I find it, I'll post in tomorrow's newsletter. :-)

Context is almost impossible to find, so gotta do our best to imagine...and wonder what might be right outside the crop line. Photography only tells part of the truth. Sometimes a very small part. But I love that about it.

As for the shavers, I find that so intimate and sweet.
