Eddie Padilla by Bruce of LA

Gerald Sullivan

Gerry was photographed by both AMG and Bruce of LA, but this looks like it could almost be a Milo shot. To muddy the attribution waters further, this photo has a DSI code number superimposed in the lower left corner, and was published in DSI's "Rugged" #1.

William MacLane catalog Q

One of the long-stated reasons for producing physique photographs was to provide an aid for artists wishing to have model resources for their art. The then-famous (and now nearly-forgotten) William MacLane took this source to heart as witnessed by three of his paintings offered in Catalog Q. The figure on the left in #99-Leisure is a classic pose by Glenn Bishop, the prone figure in #100-Sun Worship is Ed Fury by Bruce of LA and the inspiration for #102-The Studio is a photo of Matt Carroll by John Palatinus.

Good night, and sweet dreams...

Maybe I'll get lucky and have some dreams with Bruce's Scotty Cunningham... *sigh!* ....

Nothing like a little muscle to start the day (too bad about the baggy pouch, though!)...

One of my favorite big-time bodybuilders, I even own two shots from this beach series by Bruce (not this one, alas)...

It sometimes can be disconcerting to discover the actual color of some of those posing straps... :-)

Thanks to Robert for sharing this image. John Krivos also posed for AMG and Apollo, and probably other LA photographers as well.
