Don Fuller

I was thrilled to add to my collection this photograph in the series of Don Fuller posing on a rooftop.

I marvel his rolled-up cuffs and dark jeans are back in style more than a half century after this image was taken.

In June, 2012, while interviewing Dennis Bell, the current owner of the Athletic Model Guild and founder of the Bob Mizer Foundation, I asked him whether he thought this rooftop shoot was taken by Mizer.

 Bell led me through the archives and held up a large arial photograph of a Los Angeles city block. Nearly every house on the block belonged to Mizer and his family. Bell pointed out one building whose roof very much looks like the one seen in this series.

Don Fuller's back is a work of art.
