Centerfold Day

Chuck Betz, aka Chuck Dietz, is giving us a welcoming look to start off centerfold day.

The photo is by R.A. Enterprise, but I don't have a magazine title.

 

Unknown

I have neither a model's nor a photographer's name for this one, but I like it.

 

Western Photography Guild Ad

I don't think I've ever seen a centerfold that was also an ad, but here we have one.

That's Carter Lovisone (at right) with Bill Neal, and the photographer

was the immortal Don Whitman of Western Photography Guild.

Probably the most artistic image of the day.

Galaxie

This is from a short lived 1967 publication called Galaxie, model and photographer unknown.

 

Buck Kelly

This is Buck Kelly by J. Brian/Calafran Studio.

 

Wyngate & Bevins

I think this is from a Wyngate & Bevins publication,

the photography for which may have been by AMG.

 

Al Parker

Al Parker appears here in a bifold piece from Advocate Men.

 

Honcho

My source  had no names for these Honcho men from February 1980.

The text does name the photographer as Malcolm Hoare.

 

Mandate

Our Mandate centerfold is Jason MacBride as photographed by John Gamble.

 

Fred Wiggins

Enlarge this one if you can.  The text is priceless, and the model is Fred Wiggins.

Douglas of Detroit Quarterly

I do a full series on each of the classic era physique photographers at least every quarter.  This time it's Douglas of Detroit, aka Doug Juleff, and we start with the only unknown solo model of the day.

 

Leo Maryck

This is Leo Maryck, Mr. Michigan of 1947.

 

Larry Steiner

Here we see a well oiled reclining Larry Steiner.

 

Vic Seipke and Friend

That's a young Vic Seipke at right with an unknown friend.

 

Bill Hooper

Bill Hooper gives us a classic competition flex pose.

 

Stan Stanczyk

Stan Stanczyk's back muscles really show off in this one.

 

Bob Delmonteque

This double exposue of Bob Delmonteque shows off a technique

that Doug Juleff used regularly and well.

 

Mike Dubel

I never get tired of looking at Mike Dubel, and this reclining shot is an unusual pose for him.

 

Dick Buckholts

Joe Marcy

We close the set with Joe Marcy in a dramatic pose.

 

Mike Arlen Again

Today I'm posting my second full series on the work of Mike Arlen, a British photographer who broke through some barriers in the UK's gay publication scene.  His work isn't always to everyone's taste, including my own, but I think it is definitely worth a look.  And remember, I'm not even posting his most edgy material.  If you like, you can google him and find lots of free sites for more.

 

Going large

The first thing most people notice about Mike Arlen's models is that nearly all have large members.  

This guy is actually below the average from what I've seen.  I seem to recall that 

Mr. Arlen went so far as to advertise for models with big ones.

 

Don

This haughty looking model was labled only as Don.

 

Like Old Reliable

This one reminds me of Old Reliable, akd David Hurles,

but it is definitely by Mike Arlen.

 

Magazines

Mr. Arlen had two of his own publications that I know of, 

Mike Arlen's Guys shown above, and Zipper.

 

Terry Marker

This is Terry Marker in one of Mike Arlen's more artistic photos.

 

Shower

Mickey

This is Mickey from Zipper Magazine.

 

Out of place

Mr. Arlen used a lot of working class and sports themes, so I was 

surprised to find this picture of a guy in a home library.

And last . . .

And last, but far from least, we have an Afro-British model in an interesting jacket.
