George Dureau Day

George Dureau was one of the finest artists to ever come out of New Orleans, and it's been 

far too long since I featured his work here.  We start with Aaron Davis from 1985.

 

John Hinton

I don't know whether to call John Hinton's expression stern or serious.

 

Louis Goins

George Dureau posed Louis Goins on two blocks with good effect.

 

Jordan, Emmett, and Gloria

I find this group composed of Jordan Page, Emmett Johnson, 

and Gloria Johnson to be quite striking.

 

Raymond Maxwell

Is it just me, or does Raymond Maxwell look a teeny bit like O.J. Simpson here?

 

Alvin Soco

This is Alvin Soco.

 

Glenn Thompson

Based on the number of photos he took of him,

I'd say Mr. Dureau enjoyed working with Glenn Thompson.

 

Otto Battiste

Otto Battiste looks very muscular in his tank top.

 

Emmett Johnson

Finishing the George Dureau series with Emmett Johnson,

a model who got favorable comments on previous posts.

Fern and mirror

I like the composition of this Colt photo with the mirror door, fern, and Bill.

You'll see another sort of mirror shot later today.

Soapy Bill

We get a big smile from soapy Bill in a shower by Colt.

 

AMG I

In the first of two AMG photos in today's series, we see Bill Cable reclining atop a motorcycle.  

If Bob Mizer didn't invent that motif, he certainly made good use of it on numerous occasions.

 

Colt Cowboy

Here we see Mr. Cable popping out of his Levis in one of Colt's cowboy photo sets.

 

Derriere

Bill Cable posed in an art gallery for this one.

 

Tease

This one only goes to show that Jim French of Colt could go subtle on occasion.

 

AMG II

Here's another AMG shot of Bill Cable.

 

Hazy mirror

Our last picture of Bill Cable is one of about half a dozen in my 

collection where he is posed with a hazy mirror or sheet of metal.

 

Hairy Men by Request

 I got a lovely private message from a viewer named Gregg a few weeks ago, and he mentioned being particularly fond of classic era physique photos of hairy men.  I am more than happy to oblige with today's series, and we start with Alan Arnold in what I believe is an AMG image.

This is dedicated to you, Gregg, for a message that brightened my day!

AMG

I haven't been able to find a name for this hairy AMG model.

 

Dick Dene

Bruce of LA photographed Dick Dene in cowboy gear for one of the best and most authentic 

Western themed photo sets in my collection.  I won't complain a bit about this one, though.

 

No info II

This is another one for which I could find a name for neither the model nor photographer.

Snuffy

I found this on some random website labeled simply "Snuffy."  Bob Mizer of AMG had a model to whom he referred as Snuffy Smith, so it might be him, or not.  For you younger viewers, Snuffy Smith was the title character in a long running comic strip about hillbillies.

 

Pierre Ross

This is Pierre Ross by Jean Ferrero.

 

Leather Man

Closing out the set with an unnamed leather man by Avery Willard.

Thanks again to Gregg for requesting today's theme.
