The only info that came with this one was UK, 1951.

 

Fred Hare and John Kemble

Although my source did not give a photographer's name for this 1951 shot 

of Fred Hare and John Kemble, I get a strong AMG feeling from it.

 

Duncan Grant

Paul Roche posed for Duncan Grant in 1951.

 

Billy Joe Davidson

Ralph Crane took this shot of baseball player Billy Joe Davidson in 1951.

 

Lynes

The model for this 1951 George Platt Lynes photo is unknown.

 

Korea

Somewhere in Korea in May of 1951, Michael Rougier photographed these two GIs.  They seem to have thought they covered their packages, but the man at left didn't quite get there.

 

FKK Archery Day

Our theme today is FKK archery, and our first photo goes way back to 1911.  

The man with the spear is very impressive to me.

 

1923

This photo from 1923 is an original print and not a magazine scan.

Our second photo from 1928 is my favorite of the day.

 

1928 III

Our third FKK archery from 1928 is by H. Zwilleberger.

 

1930

The picture quality in this shot from 1930 isn't very good.

 

1959

It might have been chilly when this photo was made in 1959.

We can see a guy in a heavy robe in the right background.

 

1965

This fellow from 1965 is taking careful aim at something in the forest.

 

1966

These FKK men got in some archery practice in the dunes in 1966.

 

1967

Our final (and only color) FKK archery photo is from 1967.

 

Minor White Day

A few weeks ago, a viewer correctly pointed out that a photo I had posted resembled 

Minor White's work more than George Platt Lynes.  So today will be Minor White Day, 

and we start with a favorite model, Tom Murphy, from 1947-48.

 

Earle Curtis I

        Minor White took this photo of Earle Curtis near LaGrande, Oregon in the summer of 1941.

 

Gino Cipolla

This is Gino Cipolla as photographed at Portland, Oregon in 1938.

 

Atmospheric

Minor White took this atmospheric photo of Robert Bright at San Pedro Point, California in 1947.

 

Cliff Miles

All over tattoo man Cliff Miles posed for Minor White in Rochester, NY in 1958.

 

Shirtless Portrait

My source didn't give a name for the model, but he looks like Tom Murphy to me.

 

Earle Curtis II

Here is a second photo of Earle Curtis from the 1941 Oregon photo shoot.

 

Portrait II

I really like this portait of an unknow man.

 

Tom Murphy II

Here is a second photo of Tom Murphy dated 1948.

 

1973

Our last Minor White photo is the most recent in my collection.

It's Tom Shuler taken at Lakeville, Connecticut in 1973.
