Estonian Military Recruits

I was going throught the 400s in the enumerated Estonian military recruits photos when I noticed something that a whole lot (but not all) of them had in common.  I'm posting them without comment, but you guys are free to have at it, especially when you figure out the common element.

We start with the front view of numbers 421 and 422.

G-Rated Hairy Guys

Today we look at some hairy men in G-rated photos.  We start with an advert for a self 

improvement method called Psychokenisis (sic).  I don't hold out a a alot of hope 

for success seeing as how they misspelled the name of the treatment.

Oh, and the broad looks like she's giving him the finger.

 

Minimal grin

We get a minimal grin from this young man whom 

the online snapshot seller called "affectionate."

 

Massage

This is an interesting little massage scene, as there's a fully 

dressed female on the bed in the background.

 

Coney Island

This was taken by Harry Lapow at Coney Island in 1962.

 

Bear on the Rocks

I call this one Bear on the Rocks, and it's one of my two favorites of the day.

See if you can guess my other favorite by leaving a comment on it.

 

Pool catch

"I caught this in the pool after the last hurricane."

 

Athletic Mug Shot

Although I'm pretty sure this is an athlete,

it looks a little like a mugshot.

 

Coconut home hither

This guy lounging on a coconut tree trunk

is giving us a "come hither" look.

 

Reader

This fellow looks like he's reading a large format magazine.

 

Swedes

Ending the set with two burly Swedish water polo players who look like brothers.

 

Jean Ferrero Day

Featuring the work of Jean Ferrero today, and we start with the only unknown model in the set.

 

Daniel, Bill, and Raf

These three are (l-r) Daniel Cartier, Bill Franci, and Raf Toyo.

 

Jean Daniel

Jean Ferrero took Jean Daniel to the beach to shoot this one.

 

Gino

The only name I can find for this attractive model is Gino.

He looks like he's going into an ecstatic state.

 

Christian, Jean, John, and Bud

Here we see, left to right, Christian Ferrand, Jean Ferrero, John Tristram, and Bud Lanter.

 

Francois Rossi

I like Francois Rossi's expression here.

 

Jacques Mathe

Jacques Mathe was Mr. France of 1963,

 

Rick Wayne

The very well built Rick Wayne was photographed on a number of occasions 

by Jean Ferrero.  He won Mr. Universe no less than four times in the 1960s, 

and went on to a successful career as a journalist and publisher.

 

Jeff Dirbaum

Here we see Jeff Dirbaum grabbing a tree branch somewhere on the Riviera.

 

Something special

This is a portrait Jean Ferrero took of his friend and fellow photographer Cesar.

It's beautiful, and I wonder if they were more than just friends.

You can see a photo of them together here:
