Help share the message of love. Love is love. It has no sexual orientation. It's universal. Cheers!

[@fuzzydan4544]

I love all those vintage photos of love.

[@jean-jacquessimon6703]

Ces photos sont d'une telle beauté qu"il fallait les publier. Merci infiniment.On ressent une telle émotion au témoignage de sentiments forts et admirables. On éprouve de la sérénité face à la vérité de l'amour qui transcende les bassesses des époques qui condamnaient sans vouloir reconnaître l'évidence de l'amour partagé par ces jeunes gens. Quelle audace et quel courage il a fallu pour éterniser ces moments de pur bonheur.

[@loving.aphotograpichistory6240]

merci pour votre aimable note. Oui en effet. Et ils ont également été publiés dans un livre. L'édition française s'intitule "ils s'aiment". L'anglais est LOVING A Photographic History Of Men in Love"

Bravo and much love to you both,guys. You have accomplished a really great job in collecting and preserving all these pictures.... putting them together in a book shows the care you are also taking in making these photographs available to the public at large! With much TLC to you both all the way from France.

This is really exciting!! I would like to see those pictures in person!!

Hi Oscar, We are working on it. We have had several Museums interested in exhibiting our collection so stay tuned! In the meantime check out our book, "LOVING A Photographic History of Men in Love 1850s - 1950s". :)

[@janetslicer3637]

You are broadening the horizons of the world with your "Loving" collection! Keep searching, keep finding, keep showing people everywhere that this belongs in the mainstream of life and I do hope this collection ends up in a respectable museum for everyone to see. I respect you both with all my heart and soul. ♥️

[@loving.aphotograpichistory6240]

Janet, that's so much for the sweet message. xoxo

[@salimyusufji5736]

Thank you for your work. What an extraordinary story. I think of these two men at Dachau, deeply in love and soon to exchange rings, but there as liberators who were about to lose their own freedom to love. Meanwhile, gay prisoners at the camp were not liberated but only moved to other German prisons to serve out their sentences. West Germany retained the modified 'Paragraph 175' of the Nazi-era law code, with all its penal provisions intact, till 1994 - in which year there were 44 convictions. The impact of that chain of violence isn't ended yet.

Bravo!

[@Test_Card_Tom]

I hope the photographs will all be digitised to be preserved.

[@loving.aphotograpichistory6240]

Yes, all are digitized should anything ever happen to the originals.

[@Test_Card_Tom]

@@loving.aphotograpichistory6240 That's good news. They are quite remarkable photographs and their existence should never be lost to history. You deserve the thanks of all Gay men for having collected and preserved them.

Hi Neal & Hugh, fantastic, heart melting, sensual fotos you have collected about a period of time when homosexuality was forbidden and these wonderful guys showed publicly their love. Wonderful! As a 57 years old German, thank god, i grew up with my also wonderful, open minded grandparents. Coming out was no problem at home, my friends and my lover could visit my granny. My friend(s) were my grannys friends. I will be in NYC at the end of november this year. Is there any choice seeing these fotos in a gallery, museum, or anywhere else? I wish both of you and all loving gay men in the world everytime all the best. Warmest greetings from Germany. Carsten

[@loving.aphotograpichistory6240]

Hi Carsten, Thanks so much for taking the time to comment on and compliment our video. Original photos from our book , "LOVING A Photographic History of Men in Love 1850s - 1950s", and a small selection not featured in the book will be on exhibition in Geneva Switerland at Musee Rath. June 7th - end of Sept. We will be posting more on FB and Instagram as time gets closer. :)

[@carstenfrank3612]

@@loving.aphotograpichistory6240 Good evening from Germany to both of you. Thanks for the information about the exhibition in Switzerland. But i need to save my little money for my pre-christmas wonderland dream trip to NYC. I guess i watched too often "Kevin alone at home" But for me, my life motto is: dream your dream and live your dream. Do not say, i will do it later. Maybe there will be no later. In these sense, i wish you all the best. Nicest greetings from Cologne.

@@loving.aphotograpichistory6240 Hi to both of you. I have certain images in my head when i think about NYC during the christmas time. Maybe i am wrong, maybe i will be disappointed, but want to celebrate on 29th nov. the grand christmas tree lighting in front of the Rockefeller building, walking through the central park, seeing the ice skating rink, the incredible christmas decoration in the windows of Macy's, Time square, Broadway,... maybe i will be disappointed but this could be my last far overseas trip of my life. So let's get a try!

I believe love to be a purpose in life and in my life too I add by as much that it spear I beauty onto lots
