Buck Kartalian, Angelo Caminiti and Sal Pumo

I don't generally post photographs from scanned magazines, as the quality of the images is frequently subpar.

However, I am a big collector of vintage beefcake magazines themselves, as they are not only treasure troves of information on the models and photographers, but act as time machines to the nascent and often hidden gay culture of their time.

I do not know who took these photographs of Buck Kartalian, Angelo Caminiti and Sal Pumo.

Robert Fedell Photographed by Bruce of Los Angeles
