    Bravo! It seems like an inspiration for the barely-clothed athleticism that Cirque de Soleil likes to feature.

    Tex and Buddy look like brothers. Sadly, images like these along with supposed more explicit work done for Kinsey hurt GPL's commercial career in fashion photography. His commercial clients may have supported him in private but had no comment and either distanced themselves or condemned him public. In the end his career faltered due to that loss and new talented photographers coming to the fore. His salon of gay friends and lovers didn't help either, some of whom used him financially. Also, his own spend-thrift ways when he could least afford it, leaving GPL in debt. Then came his demise from cancer, where were all those friends? funny how their around when one is successful and then disappear when success is gone. -Rj/IE

      So sad the price too many have paid for being true to their artistic and personal impulses....

    Un beau couple de jeunes athlétiques et nus dans des images homoérotiques.
    Tex et Buddy étaient des sujets très consentants.
    A l'époque, les photos privées de Platt-Lynes n'étaient pas exposées au public en raison de leur contenu.
