Bob Mizer of AMG has been famously quoted as saying, "Al Urban has made a good living for years photographing men with the smallest dicks in New York." Although an examination of Mr. Urban's portfolio might well make us think so, there's no real proof the he went out of his way to accomplish that. We start today's series with a rather stiff and formally posed Ludwig Shusterich.
Buried under all that fur...it may not be all that small.
ReplyDeleteMaybe, maybe not.
DeleteNY is colder than LA, could that be the reason?
ReplyDeleteMaybe, but Urban probably heated his studio.
DeleteLet’ just hope they were all “growers.”
ReplyDeleteYes, hope springs eternal.
DeleteI rather like the almost 19th century style of this pose. The crimped hair, the classical stance, smooth oiled body implying polished marble. So Ludwig's modest/natural and intact appendage nicely balances his body. Perhaps a bush trim?
ReplyDeleteUrban was among the earliest physique photographers in its "golden age" from 1940-1965, actually having started in the 1930's. So he wasn't that far from the 19th C. when he started.
