Yes, very fitting for this fine occasion of your 2500th post :-) Mizer and his physique models without doubt would thank you for honoring their memories with your fine website. May there be 2500 more posts ! :) -Rj
Thank you, Rj! I think my collecting focus is getting clearer: more AMG (of course), but also more of the other photographers and early models who, together, make up this vanished Hollywood Arcadia/beach scene/desert community.
Bob Mizer did many true to life photos of Hollywood, LA and Santa Monica; if only the Bob Mizer Foundation would publish those photos in a book. So Cal also had Fred Ko’Vert, Spartan of Hollywood, Lyle Frisby, Pat Milo, Rip Searby, Bruce Bellas, Ralph Kelly, Richard Fontaine, Bob Carr, Dan Raymond, MC Woods, David of California, George West, Cavalier, D’Art, Frontier, Merrimac, Al McDuffie and Worth Studio. Of course Russ Warner, Dave Martin, Chuck Renslow and other physique photographers also traveled to So Cal to photograph models during that golden age of 1945-1965 now gone. -Rj
I think I am moving in that direction myself, as I have examples of a lot of the other studios (and AMG models at those studios) as well as the AMG chronology itself. Once one looks at it, there was clearly a lot of ferment and overlap between the studios, one we experience via the models -- but Mizer worked for Kovert, and Denfield worked with Mizer, and so on ... there seem even more threads waiting to be pulled.
Le beau et désirable Forrester, très approprié pour cette occassion. Photoplay, ton blog est un cadeau :) Une ode à l’âge d’or de la beauté masculine et à l’art de la photographie de physique. Merci beaucoup :) 🍾🥂
Encore merci, Beau Mec! J'apprécie tout cela — la collection, le partage, le fait de savoir qu'il y a un public pour cela — alors "I will keep on keeping on"!
