Jean Ferrero Quarterly

It's time for our quarterly Jean Ferrero feature, and I can think of no better way to begin than with Rod Ferrero. By all accounts, the magnificent model and the photographer were not related.

 

Gio Greco

This hunk is Gio Greco.

 

Christian Ferrand

Christian Ferrand posed a large number of times for Jean Ferrero,

and he looked good just about every time.

 

Matthey Claudet

At first glance, I though the exposure on this shot of Matthey Claudet was too long,

but then I realized that it really brought out the definition of the muscles.

 

Bud Lanter

And just in case anyone didn't already know, Jean Ferrero's work was in demand for magazine and promotional photos where no nudity was involved.  That's Bud Lanter on the cover of Man's World.

 

Pierre Ross

That's Pierre Ross leaning on a tree, and he is one fine looking man.

 

Marcel Hubert

Marcel Hubert is playfully looking at us through some tree branches.

 

Jack Barclay

Here we see Jack Barclay posed beside a marina on the French Riviera.

 

Don Mickael

This is Don Mickael giving us a rather uncertain look.

 

Jean Daniel and Bill Franchi

Happy Halloween 2026!

Halloween greetings to all.  We will  have a two part series 

today with some nudes and semi nudes up first.

 

Halloween 2026, Part 1 - Nudes and Semi-nudes

We start part one with a guy in a minimal devil outfit.

 

Werewolf and Biker

Here we have a werewolf and biker fighting it out in an AMG photo

that frequent commentator Pat sent.  Thanks, Pat!

 

Airborne

As appealing as the photo is, that doesn't look comfortable.

 

AMG 1972

Although there is a Frankenstein feel to this, Bob Mizer seems

 to have intended this to be a regular medical themed item.

Phill Scott is the "patient" and Dell Woods is the doctor.

 

Masked Nudist

Part one concludes with a masked nudist.

 

Halloween 2026, Part 2 - Gays in the 70s

The second half our our Halloween special focuses on gays in the 1970s,

and where better to start than two guys in the Castro of San Francisco.

 

New York

This is some bar in New York.  Am I the only one flashing of RuPaul?

 

San Fran II

More from the Castro.

 

New York II

I wonder if these two New Yorkers were a couple?

 

Polk Street

Our closing photo was taken on Polk Street in San Francisco on Halloween Night 1977.

 

Back to the Beach

Back to the beach today, starting with a fellow and his towel in the dune grass.

 

1954?

My source said this one was from 1954, and if that's true,

I think it was professionally done.

 

Dad

This guy had to be somebody's dad.

 

Charming

I found this charming photo in a late 1960s magazine piece extolling the advantages of being a homosexual.  In fact, the article seemed obsessed with Oedipal urges among hetero men.

Needless to say, it was one of those porn booklets with an article or two thrown in.

 

Joggers

Here we see some early day beach joggers.

 

Hmmmm . . .

Hmmmm . . . this is somebody I'd like to know.

 

In the Dunes I

All kinds of fun things can happen in the dunes behind the beach,

and this fellow might be waiting for some.

 

Spoilt for Choices

Nice buns here.

 

Group

The man at the center of this group is in a really good spot and seems to know it.

 

Discobolus?

The pose is a bit awkward, but I think he was going for a discobolus using a rock.

 

In the Dunes II

Here's a second guy in the dunes with a different point of view.

 

Color Snap

And finally, our only color item has a man with a bulge.
