Midweek mysteries

I have this duo as Jim Callaway and Pete Noyes, “college swimmers.” Is Callaway the one with the big bicep tattoo?

Bill Edison, Roy Whitney, and Gary Conway

I am not sure how Bill Edison ended up paired with Roy Whitney…

(Roy Whitney with Roy Shay)

…or with Gary Conway.

More Bill Edison

I’ve been working in my Mizer files for the last couple of weeks, putting like with like, and for some reason (as I have mentioned), Bill Edison has been a particular focus.

Today’s mystery

I came across this one today, stored with Gary Carmody/Conway.

It looks like another Bill Edison —  the tattoos work, sort of, but the tan line seems reasonably definitive!

Mizer catalogues 1

With the ZP13 catalogue, Bob Mizer began to expand the number of sitters showcased beyond the generous bounds of his original conception. The variety catalogues grew in size, in part because new photo sessions were sprinkled between the extra photos for the sitters who made up the album. By the early 1950s, the list of sitters in a catalogue could reach to 60 or so. (As the decade progressed, Mizer seems to have rethought this — the unchecked growth slowed and to some extent was reversed … at least in the catalogue format.)
