Tabby Anderson Day, Part 1 - Assorted Photographers
This summary is not available. Please
click here to view the post.
Inscription
Someone put an inscription on this photo of Tabby and a cat.
Too bad the kitty wasn't a tabby, too. Photographer is unknown.
Hanging out
This is another picture of Tabby Anderson where the photographer
attribution is not certain. I'm inclined to go with Ralph Kelly, but I've seen
reputable bloggers with other opinions such as Kovert of Hollywood.
Tabby Anderson, Part 2 - Bruce of LA
As promised, all of part two is by Bruce of LA, and I get the feeling these were done in a single session as the corrugated metal backdrop and grass mat floor covering are the same in all of them.
There's a certain elegance to this smiling shot on crushed velvet.
Astride a column
Tabby looks serious sitting astride a column with Bruce's trademark
grass mat on the floor and corrugated metal for a backdrop.

Details
This young man's presence is some how enhanced by the
texture of the plants, gravel, and painted garden wall.
Repeat
I've posted this one before, but I think it's worth another look.
It is one of my top favorites by Von Gloeden.
Not always about nudity
Although full on nudity was Von Gloeden's stock in trade,
he had moments where he found beauty outside it.
Promontory
Von Gloeden used the Italian landscape to great effect when he got out into it.
The model here isn't half bad either.
Corner
A zebra skin, a large pot, and a terrace corner combine
with this model to make an interesting photo.
Often photographed
Our last photo is of a model who appears at least half a dozen times in Von Gloeden's portfolio. Although not of the best technical quality, the man's attributes come through.

Playgirl, February of 1985
The Playgirl edition of February 1985 featured Paul McCartney on the cover, but our series today is all about a photo spread on Southern men who do not appear to have been professional models.
And no, Sir Paul did not appear nude in Playgirl or anywhere else I know of.
Horace Rucker
This is Horace Rucker, and I wonder if he is related to a family of Ruckers I know.
They are some of the most amazing folks I've ever encountered.
Filler?
I don't know if Playgirl needed filler for their piece on Southern men or if they thought their readers would like some non-nude photos, but they included these grainy shots of Brad Moore (above) and Jeff Stevens. Brad seems to have attracted the attention of several females. Imagine that.
