ONE Archives Gallery & Museum
626 N. Robertson Blvd.
Jay R. Lawton (1961-2013) was a Los Angeles-based photographer who devoted much of his work recording the Leather/Fetish/Kink community. "Project 50 is an ongoing effort to photograph 50 gay men who are 50 years or older. The objective is twofold: on one level it is an effort to dispel the common impression that if you are gay and over 50 you are no longer considered desirable. These men are survivors. They were at their sexual peak during the AIDS crisis and many of them, myself included, never dreamed that they would live to see this age. This is the common thread that underlies this series of images." Presented by: ONE National Gay & Lesbian Archives. For more information, visit www.one.usc.edu.

This timeless story galavants through a world obsessed with appearances, money and social-status.
