Unknown Model Photographed by John Arnt
John Arnt took this photograph of this massive, unknown model.
It is the photographer's use of a single light source and repetition of the sword and this location that have enabled me to identify this image as his.
John worked in Seattle, Washington and is best known for his sepia-toned printing.
I believe he took all of his physique photographs in the 1940's.

I was thrilled to acquire this photograph of Ed Lincoln taken by Bruce of Los Angeles.
I think he's exceptionally handsome and love that he also poses with Jim Drinkward in a series by Bruce of Los Angeles.

Steve Wengryn Photographed by Al Urban
Al Urban took this photograph of Steve Wengryn.
When you jump to this post on the blog, you can see an extraordinary image Urban took of Wengryn.
That photograph is on the cover of J. Phillip Elwes' book, Anything But Everything, a collection of gay erotic stories available on Amazon.
It always pleases me to see the work of the physique photographers of the last century reimagined into new art today.
