Desert Dudes

Time for another trip to the desert, and we start with a guy who looks familiar, but I can't place.

 

Tom and Larry

This AMG photo features Tom Mathews (left) and Larry Carr.

 

John Winship

I've seen this one attributed to both AMG and Denny Denfield.  Since all my AMG 

photos of Mr. Winship are posing strap, I guess I'll go with Denny.

 

No clue

I have no info on this one, not even a hunch...

 

Gary Seegar

Our only color picture of the day is Gary Seegar by Mel Roberts.

 

Don and Kip

Bob Mizer of AMG took this photo of Don Fuller and Kip Behar.

 

No Info

Another unknown by unknown.

 

Curt Parks

This is supposed to be Curt Parks by Pat Milo, but I'm not at all sure about that.

 

Eddie Williams

One doesn't usually think of desert landscapes in relation to Don Whitman of Western Photography Guild, but this photo of Eddie Williams sure looks like it.

 

AMG

Google Images says our closing photo is by AMG, but they don't name the model.

 

Bath House Day

It's bath house day, and we start with some early 20th Century men, probably Russian.

 

Turk

This steamy guy is supposed to be a Turk.

 

Compulsory Baths

These men are getting a compulsory bath before being allowed to stay in a New York City 

hostel for working men without apartments around 1905.

 

Bob Blount

1970s porn star Bob Blount posed in a bath house setting 

for one of his numerous photo shoots.

 

Paris

Here we see two men getting a good scrub in 1900 Paris.

It looks like a pretty high end establishment.

 

English

This is said to be an English neighborhood bath in the 1960s.  Two things that immediately caught my attention were the peeling paint and the guy at right who didn't quite cover everything up.

 

Bear night?

It must have been Bear Night at the Tubs.

 

NYC

a popular Coney Island spot for gays in the 1940s and 1950s.

 

1980-ish

We close with a 1980-ish photo of two men in a bath house.

It's 19th Century day, and we start with a photo for which I have no information.

This one is said to be by Emile Fabry.

He resembled Claude Debussy.

This 1890s nude young man wearing a wig was photographed 

by Robert Morse Withycombe of New South Wales, Australia.

 

Simart

This is an unusual salted paper print made by French sculptor Pierre-Charles Simart

as a study for his work.  This was probably produced about 1856.

 

Japanese 1880

This hand tinted photo of two tattooed Japanese men dates from 1880.

 

Affectionate Trio

These three men are Jean-Baptiste Pigny, architect; Charles Gounod, composer; 

and Edouard Dubufe, artist.  I do not know the photographer's name.
