Levis Day

Had a request for a men in Levis set, so here we go.

 

Peeping Toms?

Are these two peeping toms or innocent workmen?

 

Proud

He looks like a proud car owner, but is that a dent in the fender?

 

San Francisco

The 70s in San Francisco.

 

Archival

 These late 19th Century loggers appear on an official Levis archival web page.

Don't forget.  Levis were invented as durable, affordable work clothes for men.

Sturdy

This sturdy looking fellow caught my eye on a Pinterest page,

but for some reason my internal AI alarm went off.

 

Phone Booth

Remember phone booths?

 

Log Splitter

This beefy firewood splitter will no doubt make someone's day.

 

Miners

The timber shoring makes me think these men are miners,

but those flat tipped shovels seem odd.

 

1950 Ford

The palms and quonset huts in our final picture make 

me think of Hawaii, and I believe that's a 1949 Ford.

 

Dave Martin Quarterly - In the Studio

The last quarterly Dave Martin series was all beach scenes, so this time

 I am going with studio work.  Our first photo is one of Jim Warren.

 

Ken Dockter

I think this photo of Ken Dockter is from early in Mr. Martin's career. 

 

Carl Wadlow

Carl Wadlow looks like one of those guys whose friends might call him "Moose."

 

Bill Elliott

I really like the lighting in this picture of Bill Elliott.

 

Tim Hogan

Chuck Miller

Chuck Miller is one of my favorite Dave Martin models, 

and he looks good with a bamboo screen and a chain.

 

Charlie Wall

Despite the blank stare, I like this picture of Charlie Wall.

Walt Davis

Closing the set with Walt Davis and a classic flex pose.

 

Early 20th Century Men

We visit the early 20th Centtury today, starting with a young man reaching for something.

 

Adrien Deriaz

My source admitted to having brightened this photo of Adrien Deriaz, and I don't blame them.

It was taken in 1915 near the end of Mr. Deriaz' career, and I have to say he still had it.

 

Jim Thorpe

Native American Olympic Champion Jim Thorpe posed for this dual view in 1914.

 

Section Heading

A popular online vintage photo resale website uses this photo 

as a section heading without providing any provenance.

 

Stretch

Those stretch pull exercise devices were probably 

relatively new when this picture was made.

 

Gustav Fristensky

Here we see legandary Czech strong man and wrestler Gustav Fristensky in a classic pose.

 

Rope pull

I have no information on this shot of a young man pulling on a thin rope.

 

Moser Style

This is one of those photos that reminds me of a Koloman Moser painting.

 

Goo-goos

Mr. Right seems to have a bad case of the goo-goos for Mr. Left,

and Mr. Left just might know about it.
