J. Wayne Higgs Day

I recently featured a nude self portrait by J. Wayne Higgs in a selfie themed series which drew 

several comments.  Mr. Higgs' nude work is dominated by his self portraits which were 

taken over a period of four decades.  Today I am posting some of his other works, 

but I promise to do a series of his nude selfies in the near future.

 

1968

This 1968 photo was reworked by Mr. Higgs with emulsion at a later date.

 

Guild Press

Guild Press of Washington was a publication favored by gays,

and this nude by J. Wayne Higgs appeared there in 1969.

 

Arthur

Arthur, Washington, D.C. was made in 1970.

 

Undated

My source gave no date for Dappled Male,

but it resembles Mr. Higgs' early work.

 

Vatican

This undated photo of a statue in the Vatican Museum was made on one of Mr. Higgs forays into Europe.  Although we will of course focus on his male nude work, he also photographed fine architecture, industrial sites, natural scenes, and G-rated portraits, both solo and group.

 

Artist's Models

J. Wayne Higgs shot Artist's Models in 1977.

 

Male Torso

The photo for Male Torso was originally made in 1982, 

but Mr. Higgs added  the overlay effects in 2015.

 

Tim

This it Tim and his bikini tan lines from 1982.

 

Jeffrey

The last item in the J. Wayne Higgs set is Jeffrey from 1983.

 

Ralph Kelly Day

It's been ages since I did a series featuring the work of Ralph Kelly, and that was mainly because I had very little in the way of material I hadn't already used.  Fortunately, thanks to contributions and some items having appeared in the print resale market, that is no longer the case.  We start today's set with an unknown model on a leopard print throw that appears regularly in Mr. Kelly's work.

 

Contortionist, almost

Although we might wish for better centering in the viewing field,

this Ralph Kelly photo of an unknown is still impressive.

 

Don Reyes

War hero Don Reyes posed for Ralph Kelly in a photo provided 

by frequent commentator and contributor Cambria.  Thanks!

 

Steve Marl I

In the first of two appearances today, we see Steve Marl in a nautical setting.

And no, I don't know if he was a real sailor or not.

 

Unknown

I removed a watermark from this impressive photo of a unknown model.

Anyone have a clue as to who he might be?

 

Bob Gentry

When I first saw this Ralph Kelly photo of Bob Gentry,

I flashed on Kip Behar.  Must be the expression.

 

Bob Cutlass

I somehow managed to find a photo of Bob Cutlass

 by Ralph Kelly that I hadn't previously posted.

 

Steve Marl II

Steve Marl's second appearance in today's set shows him differently

 in a bathing suit.  He does, however, still have his sailor cap on.

 

New attribution

I had this picture in my collection for some time before I realized it was by Ralph Kelly.

That happened when I saw that Cambria had posted it as such on a bulletin board 

member posting site.  Thanks yet again, Cambria!

 

Herbert Hansen

Our final Ralph Kelly photo shows Herbert Hansen 

with a bamboo pole and a hat I can't quite figure out.

 

Albert's Blog V

Today it's time for "Jerry Borrows from Albert version 5.0," and the pictures are all derriere shots, something close to Albert's heart . . . and maybe some other parts. We start with a fellow labeled 

as a loiterer.  He can loiter in my stairwell any time he wants.  Albert's blog is a edgier and 

more explicit than mine, but I know many of you enjoy the difference.  See more at:

Thanks, Albert!

 

Gavin

In the first of two Mike Arlen photos I borrowed from Albert for today's set, we see 

a Scotsman named Gavin.  As a kilt wearing Scottish American, I heartily approve.

 

Bob Stockman

A little research found that this photo posted by Albert 

is Bob Stockman by Champion Studio.

 

Way back

Albert went way back in time to find this one.   

 

Classic

I call this "Classic Albert."  Anyone who knows him knows why.

 

Rick

This is Rick from a Mike Arlen prison themed photo set.

 

Streakers

Albert has posted some great shots of streakers from the 1970s,

and this is one of my favorites.  I should do a series.

 

Darrell Chaney

 

This is Darrell Chaney who was known to have posed for Bruce of LA.

This photo did not have a photographer listed, however.

Car wash

I think a car wash where the workers looked like this would be very successful.

In the meantime, we have this photo of an amateur to look at.

 

And finally, a twofer

This last one looks familiar, so I may have posted it myself at some time.

If I didn't, I should have.  Thanks again to Albert for today's photos.
