George Platt Lynes (1907-1955, shown above in a photo by his friend Jared French) was a gay American photographer who made a good living photographing celebrities in the 1930's and 40's.  When he wasn't taking pictures of movie stars, artists, and writers, he indulged his real passion, photographing male nudes.  None of his nudes were published during his regrettably short life, but he had the foresight to donate them to the Kinsey Foundation of sexology fame.  Tonight I am featuring some of my favorite Lynes photos of men.
