Tabby Anderson by AMG

 

Tabby has been a favorite of mine from the moment I first saw him, twenty or so years ago.  This is a new photo of him that I just found and had to share with you right away.  His eyes are telling a story, but I'm not sure which one - is he tired, or just bored?  I've never seen a shot of him without either his smiling face or intense gaze.  I think he's just tired, ready to take a shower to clean off the oil, and get his fee from Bob so that he can take his girlfriend out for dinner!

Nearly 2 years ago (already???) I posted a scan of a Tabby Anderson slide I had won on eBay -- the image was by the auction seller as I didn't have a slide scanner...

Well! My old HP flatbed finally died, and I am now in the possession of a wonderful new Epson Perfection V500 -- with slide attachment and color & scratch filters! WooHoo! Take a look, fellas -- a little better than before, huh? (And with the part in his hair now on the correct side!)

WooHoo!


Update 7/15! Thanks to Gary for this cleaned-up look at Tabby!

Keeping on an AMG roll... Here's Tabby Anderson, a popular model of the 50s who also posed for Bruce, Fred Kovert, Frank Kelly, Spartan and possibly more studios. A shot from this series was on display at the Western-Project Gallery exhibit of Bob Mizer's work back in 2004 (page 18 of the Flash document, you'll see all the bars in the picture, in which Mizer was looking right up Tabby's [pouched] crotch). The color picture is actually a slide that I won on eBay a while back -- this is the seller's scan, as I have not had a chance to buy a scanner with a slide attachment -- maybe someday!

I have a real fondness for Tabby. He didn't thrill me at first, but over the years he's grown on me. The fact that so many photographers took his picture shows that he had that certain... something. I'll have to post some of his nudes for you one of these days...!
