Alan Charlesworth

Based out of PA, most of Charlesworth's work deals with the gay community and sexuality, specifically along the east coast. One of his series, still a work in progress, is called "American Gay Bar" and explores the idea that social networking sites may make these former safe havens for gay and lesbian people obsolete, which explains the absence of people in the work. Here's his website if you're interested (he was also a graphic design major, so the website is super pretty haha).
Unfortunately, his work is super protected and I can't seem to find any more downloadable images than the ones below. But they're all on his website, so check it out.

The next image is from an ongoing project of his called "Brotherhood of Bears" documenting the much neglected group of "big, burly men attracted to other men," otherwise known as "Bears," using photography to raise awareness of a group of socially outcast people.
