In Living Color - Mike Sill
Mr. Utah 1956, and one of the Golden Greats of the physique era -- Mike Sill! Here he is in a pose I just found, in a setting I've not seen before. Judging by the hair color, this is either by Dave Martin or Bob Delmonteque (Bruce snapped him when he was a blond...). Sorry the pic is so small, but I thought it important to share...

David O'Boyle by AMG
David was a frequent visitor to the AMG Studios in the mid-late sixties -- Bob Mizer took photos of him over a several year span. Here is a page from Physique Pictorial from around 1966, introducing the world to this hunky badboy. He fell in and out of Mizer's favor, as his commentary in future issues of PP would show (but Bob new a fan-favorite when he saw one, and had no compunctions about showcasing a model he wasn't particularly fond of at the time!). I've followed this up with a few nudes that show David looking very serious -- not the devil-may-care attitude we normally associate with him.
More to come soon...!

Don Whitman never had a problem with his models' pubes peeking out from behind their posing pouches -- for which thousands of men have been eternally grateful!
(Thanks to FD for these scans!)

unknown mustachioed "Thinker"
A pose used by all of the physique photographers at one time or another, this one from the 40s... All thanks to M. Rodin for the original inspiration! ;-)

I actually own these 4x5's -- I won them a couple years back on eBay. They had some damage to them, but the "framing" it gives the model almost (almost!) enhances the photo. Scanned nice and large for your enjoyment...!

Steve Reeves -- by Russ Warner?
Classic muscle posing to close out the night (and the month!).
These two 4x5's recently sold at eBay auction for $68 a piece without any kind of identification from the seller. They sure look like Steve Reeves to me, and I'm putting my further two cents in and attribute them to Russ Warner.
Demetrios Dardanis by Spartan
One last Spartan for the night. I'm sorry it is not in the best shape, but man -- look at that butt -- and those legs! Whoah! ;-)
