Doryphoros

Closing with a Roman copy of Doryphoros, The Spear Bearer.  This work was an early example 

of contrapposto—a pose where the figure's weight rests on one leg while the other leg

 is relaxed, creating a natural shift in the hips and shoulders 

 

Bill Cable Day

Today is Bill Cable day, and we start with a classic cowboy shot.

It looks a lot like Colt, but my source didn't say so.

 

Tantalizing

I can only describe this one as tantalizing.

Provocative

 

If the intent here was to be provocative, they succeeded.

Slide?

I think this item from a motorcycle themed photo shoot is a slide.

AMG Log Lift

This AMG item is sometimes included in collections of outlandish Bob Mizer photos.

It falls way below that threshold in my opinion.

 

More cowboy

I think this is another shot from one of Bill Cable's cowboy themed photo sets.

 

More AMG

This AMG photo looks like it was made when Bill Cable was dating Elvira.

At least he seems to be having some fun with the horror shtick.

 

Rockery

Finishing the set with Mr. Cable sprawled across a rock fissure.

 

 

Jean Ferrero Quarterly

It's time for our quarterly Jean Ferrero feature, and I can think of no better way to begin than with Rod Ferrero. By all accounts, the magnificent model and the photographer were not related.

 

Gio Greco

This hunk is Gio Greco.

 

Christian Ferrand

Christian Ferrand posed a large number of times for Jean Ferrero,

and he looked good just about every time.

 

Matthey Claudet

At first glance, I though the exposure on this shot of Matthey Claudet was too long,

but then I realized that it really brought out the definition of the muscles.

 

Bud Lanter

And just in case anyone didn't already know, Jean Ferrero's work was in demand for magazine and promotional photos where no nudity was involved.  That's Bud Lanter on the cover of Man's World.

 

Pierre Ross

That's Pierre Ross leaning on a tree, and he is one fine looking man.

 

Marcel Hubert

Marcel Hubert is playfully looking at us through some tree branches.

 

Jack Barclay

Here we see Jack Barclay posed beside a marina on the French Riviera.

 

Don Mickael

This is Don Mickael giving us a rather uncertain look.
