Today we will look at some bearded men from the 70s and 80s, and I have no names for any of them. We start with a guy whom I think appears later in a different pose.

Construction
If you're going to do the old construction worker fetish, at least do it well. I call this a success.

Richer's Professional Models, Part 1 - Known Quantities
I recently had to good fortune to find some "new" photos by Paul Richer in a French institution's archive. One group of those were labeled as professional models, some of whom were named. So today will be a two parter, starting with known models and moving on the unknow. First up is Raphael Colletti, whose beard and hair style made his face look square.
Alonzo
Our final entry in the Richer known model category is a guy who went just
by Alonzo and was having a bad hair day when this photo was taken.
Richer's Professional Models, Part 2 - Unknowns
My source only had names for a bit less than half of Paul Richer's professional model portfolio, and given that they are a well regarded institution, that'l likely because Richer didn't record them. We begin Part Two with a man who not only posed nude for other photographers, but also has appeared here as the subject of several academic drawings. Surely someone knows his name.
Familiar?
I wish we had a better look at this model's face because
I think he may have posed for at least one important painter.
Forlorn Gaze
We get a somewhat forlorn skyward gaze from this model.
Sandow used the same pose, only with a fig leaf.
Dramatic Pose
Our last unknown Paul Richer model looks as though he might have been both an athlete and a model. Such was not unheard of, and the dramatic pose really shows his muscles.

Bryan B's Arax Photos
Today I will be posting ten photos by Arax of Paris generously sent to me by viewer Bryan B.
Most of today's models are unknown, despite multiple searches. More on that later.
We start with an unknown model in a pose that is a pure Arax classic.
Thank you, Bryan!
Jean Millet I
I've posted several other photos of Jean Millet in the past, and Bryan's contribution
included this and one other "new" picture that will appear later today.
Castanet photo
This is another example of what I call the "playing the castanets pose."
They generally seem to do it standing up, however.
Posing strap
Here is an example of what feels like creeping censorship on the Google Images search function.
This benign posing strap photo produced the "This search can't be processed due to content
guidelines" notice. The same thing has been showing up on derriere shots and even photos
of men in trunks. I don't know if Google has gone prudish since they made a deal with
the devil Trump, or if their AI scanners are so shoddy they can't tell the difference.
Either way, I hope I don't find myself looking for a new blogging platform soon.
Meanwhile, I'd really like to see more of this model.
Almost had a name
I thought I had found a name for our final Arax model, but it
turned out to be another guy in exactly the same pose.
Again, many thanks to Bryan B for today's images.
