I sometimes refer to Roy Blakey (1930-2024) as "the other photographer named Roy," but that doesn't really give him credit for his amazing talent. He took up photography after a career as a skater for Holiday on Ice, and he did some amazing work. Today we look at ten more of his photos.

Dancers?
Roy Blakey was well known for his photographs of dancers,
and I suspect this is one, although my source did not say.
Light
The garish glare of the light put me off this photo for a moment,
but the more I look at it, the more I like it. The model is unknown to me.
And now for something completely different . . .
I'm ending our Roy Blakey set with something I discovered while putting together a recent
series on Honcho magazine. Imagine my surprise, but then it was done for Honcho.

19th Century, Part 1 - Nudes
Today we visit the 19th Century with a two part series. Part one is all nudes, starting
with this 1850 American photo whose owner bought an expensive frame for it.
Note the hand coloring on the model's cheeks and one less expected location.
I suspect this was made for a gentleman with certain specific interests.
Stereopticon
This is one of those stereopticon double images used to produce a 3-D effect, and I really wish I had a way to see it that way. When trying to find info on this, I found the modified version below.
Hermann Heid
This photo is attributed by a European university library to Hermann Heid. I've seen the same model in some photos by Louis Igout, but such personnel overlaps are not at all unheard of.
Unknown
I found this on a European website in a group of 19th C. photos,
but no photographer's name was given.
19th Century, Part 2 - Working Men
Part two of our 19th Century set features working men, starting with these two bellboys from an Inverness, Scotland hotel. I think I would have been calling for room service all night.
Lumberjacks
Although they don't meet the Monty Python stereotype, these are late 19th C. lumberjacks.
The guy at rights look a bit out of place, but I'm sure he was popular after dark.
Moose, but no squirrel
This is either from the 1896 Yukon gold rush or shortly thereafter, so I'm assuming that the man on the moose was a miner or prospector. (Yes, moose were actually used as pack animals and for transport.) Bullwinkle never looked that good, and I would really like to pet them both.

Antonio Montez
Here we see Antonio Montez in an AMG photo with an unfortunately placed watermark
that none of my software could remove. You'd think they guys at the Bob Mizer Foundation
could have stuck it somewhere better than that. Oh, well.
Joseph Cataldi
I stole this AMG shot of Joseph Cataldi off Bob's Naked Guys blog.
