Though I suspect Bruce of Los Angeles took this photograph, I've been unable to identify these models.

I was pleased to acquire another photograph of massive Robert Deckard.

Howard Olsen Photographed by Denny Denfield
As you might know, I'm currently sorting Denny Denfield's negatives. He joined Bob Mizer for at least one joint photo shoot with Howard Olsen and Jack Harris at this locale.
When you click on Olsen's name label directly below this post, you can see Mizer's photographs of the model posing solo and with other men in this sandy spot.
It's fun to know that more half a century ago Denfield and Mizer were here together taking photographs.
If you haven't yet and are interested, jump to this post on my Mike The Content Producer blog, where you can read a bit about my on-going gig archiving Denny Denfield's negatives at the Bob Mizer Foundation.

Lew Ryall
I do not know who took this photograph of Lew Ryall, who was clearly a boxer or other sort of athletic in top shape in 1916.
Unknown Model Photographed by Al Urban
I have held onto several photographs of unknown models taken by Al Urban, who began advertising his images of male nudes in the nascent bodybuilder magazines of the 1930's. Urban was born in 1917, worked in the New Jersey and New York areas, and passed away in 1992.
As I post them to the blog, I hope readers can help me identify these unknown models, since I've had no luck to date.
I think this model is quite handsome and suspect these photographs were taken in the 1930's.
