Taking it all Off for Fundraising Calendar



After a career photographing vintage architecture, Lynne Damianos turned out to be the perfect choice to take pictures of 12 older guys in their birthday suits.

The award-winning photographer captured the character of the century-old Bancroft Building in evocative pictures she made into a calendar produced by the First Parish in Framingham to raise funds and awareness that older men age like fine wine

It sells for $15 with all proceeds going to the operating fund of the Unitarian Universalist congregation.
Damianos has done for a dozen geriatric bottoms, bellies and balding pates what Georgia O'Keeffe did for the wildflowers and skeletons of the Southwestern desert: She found beauty and vitality in unlikely places.

It's not like any northwestern COB camp would do such a thing.
