New acquisitions!  This one is quite nice and shows Bob Mizer's mother's glass image as the background.  Richard is quite handsome at 21!

Really great facial expressions and poses.  Love the posing strap!

The Naked Heartland by Bruce of Los Angeles

 I just bought a copy of the hard to find Bruce Bellas book, The Naked Heartland, published by Janssen Verlag in 2001.  It's a lovely book!  I was pleasantly surprised by how innocent but lovely and playful the black and white images are.  I believe they were taken mostly in the 1930's, though they could have been from the 1960's because they have a timeless quality to them.  One chapter is called Hotel Nebraska, another Back to the Coast.  Lots of outdoor shots as well as some more intimate hotel bedroom photos.  Here are a few tamer pictures.  

Out in the woods.  Can you feel him almost staring through you? 

Posed and reflecting, but those arms convey shyness and a sense of exposure.

Inside and posing in some interesting underwear.  More casual feeling and the double shadows in the back make it more than just a young man exposed to a camera.

Physique Photography (1950)

 Hal Stephens wrote this booklet for Ironman Magazine.  It's a rare publication - most likely tossed away by people over the years, rather than saved.  It actually contains good, basic tips on analog photography, lighting and posing a model.  Stephens even posed himself for one photo and relied on another model and shows his poses for examples.  Throughout, there are images from photographers associated with Ironman Magazine.  Published in 1950, this really is a treasure of posing strap and physical modeling.
