Never Too Late

By Heather Won Tesoriero

Does aging damp down our emotions and sexuality? Don't believe it, says photographer Laura Kleinhenz, who has roamed Florida's retirement havens in search of senior romance. Older people, she says, "have a level of needs and passion that most people are completely unaware of." The moments she has captured, from a dating auction to a bedroom embrace, are punctuated by grace, fun and touches of fire. With Valentine's Day approaching, they remind us that love is not only possible at any age, but necessary. --By Heather Won Tesoriero
