Don Whitman's Western Photography Guild, Part 2 - the not quite Nudes


  Don Whitman of Western Photography Guild was one of the best of the classic era physique photographers in terms of expertly posing a model in such a way to make him exciting without showing genitalia.  That skill kept him out of jail and busy selling photos while his peers suffered harassment.  So part two of Don Whitman day features those sexy almost nudes.  I greatly admire this photo of Dick Mathias for the lighting, the handsome man, the use of the dead wood prop, and that brooding dark sky in the background.  Amazing work!

    1. My Scottish family has about 25% Viking DNA, indicating we are descended from some of the most recent Norse settlements in Scotland. In fact, I have DNA matches to living men in Norway and Sweden.

    3. Yes, how very impressive it was to get that far in what was essentially an oversized and well designed rowboat.
