Love At Sixty

Love At Sixty is the personal account of Elliott and Lynda Landy, two children of the sixties whose chance connection 40 years after college awakens a love suspended by time. It is a story of starting over, of letting go and of rejuvenation told through a passionate and artistic blend of photography and prose.

In 2000, inspired by the beauty of their personal relationship and the desire to share its joy with others, famed photographer Elliott Landy began to focus his lens on his life partner Lynda. Touched by the developing imagery, Lynda picked up her pen once again. Through a series of moving and often humorous vignettes she began to chronicle the spiritual and sensual rekindling of their love as well as the complexities of starting over at 60. Love At Sixty is the result of their collaboration, a photo verité journal that captures the spontaneity of life, the essence of womanhood and the wonder of love at any age.

Best known for his classic "rock" photographs, Elliott Landy's works include the Woodstock Festival (he was the official photographer), Bob Dylan (Nashville Skyline), The Band (Music From Big Pink, and The Band), Janis Joplin, Van Morrison (Moondance), Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, and many others.

Lynda Landy, a New York City dining critic whose food column appeared in CUE/NEW YORK Magazine for over a decade, is currently a fundraiser for gifted and talented education. She and Elliott share the joys of their extended family and are happily ensconced in the mystical hills of Woodstock, NY.
