This photo of Sheldon "Bugs" Deal appeared on page 15 of a magazine, possibly Tomorrow's Man.

The only information I have on this model in a print posing strap

Frank Collier used a somewhat dramatic hand placement in this shot of Fred DeLuca.

The 1930s

Our theme this time is the 1930s, and we start with a fellow holding a short staff.

My source says that the photo is of that decade, but provided on other information.

 

Javelin

I really like this image of a man with a javelin.

 

Jump!

Nice stop action on this one.  Has to be German, but my source didn't say.

 

Elio Luxardo

I've posted about a dozen photos by Elio Luxardo, but only recently did I discover this book.

Do any of you have it, or scans from it?  If so, please let me know.

 

Odd

There's something off about this one that I just can't figure out.

Maybe it's simply that he seems so skinny.

 

Donald Sidney Herbert

My favorite photo of the day is Two Men on a Rope by Donald Sidney Herbert from 1938.

 

Tan Lines

The 1930s were a transitional time for men's bathing suits.  The decade began with nearly all suits having tops that resembled tank tops.  Later, the tops were ditched for high waisted trunks only.  Our model here appears to have worn trunks only most of the time, but if you look, you'll see his upper body has faint tank top tan lines.  Fortunately for us, he isn't wearing anything here.

 

Henri Viollet

This one is said to be by Henri Voillet, but the source was somewhat uncertain.

 

In the Forest

 

Air swim

Ending with a picture of a man who looks like he's trying to swim in the air.

Sam Dekker

Here we see Sam Dekker, who appears to be standing in a bedroom door.

 

John Pruitt

Jim French used exceptional lighting for this shot of John Pruitt.

 

Monte Crown

I only have one other photo of Monte Crown.

 

Grafton Burke

This is the only photo of Grafton Burke that I have,

but at least it's a very good one.

 

Tom Lombardy

I love the impish grin we get here from Tom Lombardy,

but I'm sure most of you are looking elsewhere.

 

Teddy Garr

When I started putting this series together, this was the only picture I had of Teddy Garr.

After a few searches, I have since remedied that situation.

 

Chadd Hazard

I stole this one of Chadd Hazard from fellow blogger bushnstache,

whom you can visit at https://bushnstache.blogspot.com/

Thanks!

 

Denny Lassiter

Here we have Denny Lassiter from 1971.
