Artist Robert Heishman was rummaging through a junk yard while looking for material for an undergraduate documentary class, when he came across an old slide carousel labeled"Jack's Slides: Chicago and Kansas City."To his surprise, the carousel burst open, unicorns and butterflies flew out, and it was chalked full of dragalicious photos from 1960's Kansas City!

Later, while helping a friend move into a house around the corner from a bunch of old drag clubs in Kansas city, they came across a shoebox in the house with a similar bunch of old photos that appeared to be by the same dude!
