Jack Deal Photographed by Lon


I was happy to acquire this aft photograph of Jack Deal taken by Lon. I now suspect the fore image of Jack in this post on the blog was also taken by Lon.

I think Jack looks like a superhero coming into his powers.

Eddie Williams and Irwin Horwitz Photographed by the Western Photography Guild



The Western Photography Guild took both of these images of Eddie Williams.

I hope to discover a whole series of photographs of Eddie fighting Irwin Horwitz: it looks like an epic battle has just gotten under way.

Ed Fury


This is one of my favorite images of Ed Fury, whose real name was Ed Holovchik and who was a very popular physique model in the 1950's.

I especially like how this photograph seems to capture the moment just before Ed releases the energy he's built up in his muscles to hurl the stick.

Kip Behar Photographed by Pat Milo








Pat Milo took these photographs of Kip Behar.

Though all of these images are fantastic, my two favorites are of Kip wearing the sailor pants and of him reclining back on the structure, these images in particular making his upper torso look quite massive.

Larry Scott




Bruce of Los Angeles took the photograph of Larry Scott accepting his trophies at a bodybuilding competition.

Among the many titles he won are Mr. California in 1960, Mr. Universe in 1963 and 1964, and Mr. Olympia in 1965 and 1966.

I do not know who took the outstanding images of Larry posing outdoors.

Gene Davis



Here are two nice images of Gene Davis, of whom I hope to track down more photographs.

I am obsessed with the rose tattoo on his upper arm.
