Based on Hugh Nini and Neal Treadwell's heartwarming book "LOVING - A Photographic History of Men in Love 1850 - 1950," David Millbern's '100 Years of Men in Love: The Accidental Collection' (airing on HERE TV) brings new dimensions to the collection's eclectic, illuminating survey of same-sex love as recorded over the course of a century by ordinary men: Workers, farmers, soldiers, and others who captured the essence of their love and devotion through photography. Nini and Treadwell, a longtime couple, were browsing an antiques shop after church one Sunday when they came across a vintage photo of two men who appeared to be in love. (Their criterion for this is that there is certain "look in the eyes" of the men in the photo.) Purchasing the picture, they had no idea that they were beginning a unique, and historically important, collection that would eventually come to include thousands of images from around the world and lead to a critically acclaimed book. David Millbern's hourlong documentary interviews Nini and Treadwell, gleaning their insights about the ways in which male couples across a century, from the 1850s through the 1950s, documented their commitment, preserved their affection, and, in many cases, signaled their authenticity through coded means that the collectors' trained eyes are able to discern.⁠ ⁠ Tap link in bio to continue on @EDGEmedianetwork⁠ ?️‍??️?️?⁠ ?️: Kilian Melloy / @dragelruairi ⁠ ?: A photo from "Loving" by Hugh Nini and Neal Treadwell @heretv
