Men and Horses

Today's photos all have horses in them, but you may have to look closely to see a few of them.

We start with 1916 photo of the Swedish Crown Prince's Hussar Regiment at a beach.

 

Helmet Hair

The helmet hair dates this to the clone era of the late 70s,

but beyond that, I have no info.

 

Jerry Sullivan by Bruce

This is Jerry Sullivan by Bruce of Los Angeles.

 

White horses

What a sight, naked men and white horses as far as the eye can see!

 

Romance Novel

The model here looks like he could have been on the cover 

of one of those cheap women's paperback romance novels.

All he needs is a vapid female staring up at him.

 

Wire design

That patterned wire is the same that we used around our horse corrals when I was growing up.  

We did not, however, have a cowboy who did that . . . at least not outdoors.

 

Marc Hampton

This is Marc Hampton from a 1974 Playgirl.

 

WWII Germans

This image came from Mr Scumbeast's

collection of World War II German soldiers.

 

Rustic

You can barely make out the horse in this photo of a half dressed

man wearing one of those rustic lace-up shirts,

 

Lalaing

Finishing up with Jacques Lalaing's favorite model on a plaster horse.

 

Nudists Wearing Hats

Today's theme is nudists wearing hats.

This one has a very wide brim.

 

Convention

The American Sunbathing Association was planning 

their convention when this was taken.

 

Musical Procession

These two are leading some sort of musical procession.

 

Fisherman

I think I found this fisherman on a French website.

 

Happy

Here we see a happy fellow in a baseball cap.

 

Group

These men, three of whom are wearing hats,

appear to have won a volleyball prize.

 

Dixie Cups

Our second color photo of the set shows a man

handing out drinks in Dixie cups.

 

Worker

I think this guy is working on the stage for a nudist beauty pageant.

 

Official?

Cowboy

The last guy with a hat today is wearing a cowboy hat with laceup shoes and white socks.

 

Ralph Kelly Day

I don't have a large collection of Ralph Kelly's work, but thanks to some recent finds,

I have enough unposted work for a full set.  We start with Keith Stephan.

 

Unknown

This heavily tattoed model is unknown . . . 

and would you look at that bush?

 

Joe Leitel

Even in a posing strap, a serious Joe Leitel looks good.

 

Bob Cutlass

Unknown Pair

I haven't been able to find names for these two handsome models.

 

Steve Marl

I could do without the cigarette, but Steve Marl makes up for it.

 

Joe Tiffenbach

I was pleased to recently find this "new" photo of Joe Tiffenbach.

 

Bob Gentry

This shot of Bob Gentry in the surf is unusual

in that Ralph Kelly outdoor work is somewhat rare.

 

Herbert Hansen

The posing of Herbert Hansen is a bit awkward,

and it reminds me of Kovert of Hollywood.

 

Les Petroff

Finishing the Ralph Kelly series with Les Petroff, a model who always seemed to look a bit rough around the edges.  His modeling career extended long enough that his growing collection of tattoos can be tracked across it.  I don't know if he ever got the chest pieced finished, though.
