I do not know the identities of these two men boxing outside military barracks.

In these photographs, Pepper Gomez epitomizes a beefcake model in Southern California in the 1950's.

I do not know who took these images.

Unknown Model Photographed by Denny Denfield

Denny Denfield took this color photograph of this handsome, unknown model, whose puma tattoo is spectacular.

Phil Kousch

I was thrilled when a reader sent me these photographs of Phil Kousch, whose fantastic pompadour and amazing physique have somehow eluded my attention until now.

I know Bruce of Los Angeles took photographs of this handsome bodybuilder in the late 1950's, but I am not certain who took these images.

John Tristram and Forrester Millard Photographed by the Athletic Model Guild

To ensure you collect all of the photographs taken by the Athletic Model Guild featuring John Tristram and Forrester Millard aka Forrester Wayne D'Orlac, here are three exceptional catalogs of the duo.

I especially like the images of the two men in and around Bob Mizer's pool.




Robert Deckard

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

I suspect Bruce of Los Angeles took this photograph, but am still seeking confirmation.

Clive Poster Photographed by Domenique

Here's another photograph of Clive Poster taken by Domenique, the name Lon of New York used while photographing in London, England.

Bob Ireland Photographed by Mark One Studio

Mark One Studio took this photograph of Bob Ireland in the 1950's.

Howard Olsen Photographed by Denny Denfield

UPDATED June 30, 2017: Denny Denfield took this photograph of Howard Olsen.

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.
