Lyle Frisby Day

The work of Lyle Frisby is sometimes mixed up with that of his partner Pat Milo 

because Mr. Milo continued to print and distribute Mr. Frisby's work after his death 

at age 29.  A few of today's attributions may be incorrect, but Lyle Frisby deserves 

to be remembered.  We start with Keith Stephan.

 

Reading

This model is reading something.  Maybe it's his contract.

Arnold and Mel Klein

Outdoor photos by Lyle Frisby are relatively rare.  

The models here are Arnold and Mel Klein.

 

Pat Root

The model here is Pat Root.

 

John Jolcin

This photo of John Jolcin appeared in The Male Figure magazine.

 

Roland Steiner

This photo of Roland Steiner was shared by Brian E., and I'm pretty sure it was published long 

after Lyle Frisby's death.  The format and page number indicate a book or magazine, 

neither of which would have been possible during Mr. Frisby lifetime.

 

Bob Stevens

The model here is Bob Stevens.

Men Up Against a Wall

Our theme this time is men posed against a variety of walls.

We start with a sailor against a brick wall.

 

Unsure

I'm not sure what sort of wall these two are up against, but it is 

probably one at the sprawling AMG/Mizer comples.

By Alan Ginsberg

Alan Ginsberg took this photo of an unnamed hitchhiker in 1961.

 

1950s?

The hairstyle and rolled up Levis give this one a classic 1950s feel.

 

AMG

All I know about this one is that it's another AMG image.

 

Shower Wall

This hairy beauty posed against a tile shower wall.

 

Shack Wall

This one intrigues me.  For some reason, a very good looking man posed 

nude against the wall of what appears to be a weatherbeaten shack.

 

Wall and Roof

These two seem to be posed against both a roof and a wall.

 

Rock Wall

Glen Steers posed against a rock wall for Jim French of Colt.

Michel Szulc Krzyzanowski 1974

Our closing photo shows Polish artist Michel Szulc Krzyzanowski.  He made this 

self portrait against a wall showing other nude photos he took in 1974.

 

Mandate 1980

For today we will look at ten photos from several 1980 issues of Mandate magazine.  We start with a picture by Len Tavares from April in which a model is holding a trophy surrounded by covers.

Mr. Tavares was the in-house photographer for Mandate for quite some time.

 

July Unknown

My source had no name for this model from July.

 

U.S. Studio I

In the first of two pieces promoting U.S. Studio, we see a piece promoting 

The Book of James by U.S. Studio, an outfit I don't think I've heard of before.

 

Rick Wolfmier

This Colt photo of Rick Wolfmier was given a two page spread,

but I'm not sure if it was a centerfold or not.

 

Dusky July

This dusky photo from the July 1980 issue has an enigmatic hand coming around a door frame.

 

Twofer

I have no info on this twofer other than that it appeared in April of 1980.

 

U.S. Studio II

Unlike the other page promoting a U.S. Studio book, this one offered

five high quality signed, numbered, and matted prints for $75.

 

Santa and Friend

Michael Rock took this picture of Santa and a friend for the January issue in 1980.

 

Joe Antoin

Len Tavares took this photo of Joe Antoin for the leadoff shot in an October 1980 series

 called The Total Man.  Unfortunately, my source only showed this one online.
