Models Named Bob

Today we look at ten models named Bob, starting with Bob Lann by Jean Ferrero.

 

Bob Pistol

Frequent commentator Pat sent me this photo of Bob Pistol, which I believe was shot 

on one of the AMG roof terraces.  That would make it the first of several 

Bobs photographed by Bobs in today's series.  Thanks, Pat!

 

Bob Gibe

The amazing Doug Juleff, aka Douglas of Detroit, took this exceptional picture of Bob Gibe.

 

Bob Storm

 

We get a nice smile from Bob Storm in the backyark photo by Bruce of LA.

Bob Gentry

This Ralph Kelly photo of Bob Gentry was featured in a pre-liberalization magazine.

 

Bob Welk

Pat Milo took this photo of Bob Welk on a stool.

I wonder if he was related to Lawrence?

 

Bob Taylor

This is Bob Taylor by Bob Anthony.

 

Bob Brown

Bob Mizer of AMG used his mother's punch bowl to make this picture of Bob Brown.

 

Bob Delmonteque

Bob Delmonteque went on from modeling to become a competent photographer, but this isn't a selfie.  Most sources attribute it to Douglas of Detroit, while a few say photographer unknown.

 

Bob Meinhart

Our final Bob is Bob Meinhart as photographed by Bob Mizer early in his career.

 

Hippie Day

It's hippie day on the blog, and we begin the show with the first of several photos 

from rock festivals. This one is a group at Leon's Lake at Woodstock.

 

Body Art

Body painting was a fad for a while among hippies.

 

Slide?

I think this image is from a slide.

 

School Buses

A certain subgroup of sometimes nomadic hippies had a fondness for living in old school buses.  In the case of these guys, however, I suspect that they simply found some cheap housing in a junkyard.  Of course, there's always a chance that somebody just saw a great photo opportunity.

 

Horseman

Some of you find naked men on horses to be attractive.  You know who you are, lol.

 

Isle of Wight

Jean Paul Margnac took this picture at the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970.

 

Art

I think this might have been some sort of performance art.

 

Headstand

One of these guys took a break from skinny dipping to do a headstand.

 

Reminds me

This model reminds me of Rob Reiner.

 

Bull Island

Closing with a photo of some hippies at the Bull Island festival of 1972.  An organizational disaster,

several of the headline acts refused to perform due to squalid conditions, the crowd rioted 

the last day, and three people tragically drowned in the Wabash River.  

At leas they didn't hire the Hells Angels for security.

 

Military Day

Narcyz Witczak-Witaczyński

These 1930-ish Polish cavalrymen are bathing their horses . . . and probably themselves.

The photo is by the talented Narcyz Witczak-Witaczyński.

 

Haircut

I don't know why this GI felt like he needed to keep his rifle handy while getting his hair cut as  

It doesn't look like they are in a combat area.  Maybe he was late for his turn at the rifle range.

 

Barracks Fun

Bored soldiers in the barracks will do almost anything to entertain themselves.

 

Delousing

When I first saw those boilers at left, I started looking for a mobile shower unit.

The actual cause for the mass nudity was apparently delousing, however.

 

WWI Germans

These World War I German troops are enjoying a dip in what looks like a canal sluice.

 

Candid

Something tells me that this photo of a soldier and his very fine derriere was candid.

 

Swedes

Our only color photo of the day is supposed to be two men

from a 1970s Swedish chemical decontamination unit.

 

Algeria?

I'm not sure, but I think this photo is from Algeria 

during the French colonial war there 1954-62.

 

New Guinea

My source didn't say, but our ending photo looks like it was made 

in New Guinea in the early part of the WWII Pacific Campaign.

The men appear to be doing  their washing.
