Clueless
The quality on this crew cut beauty's derriere shot screams "professional,"
and the palmetto backdrop (if that's what it is) looks familiar,
but I don't have a clue as to who he or the photographef might be.
I have a Kensington Road reissue of a series by Bruce Bellas of Art Ulrich swinging low against a backdrop of palmetto, if that's of any help - with hairstyles indicating early '60s, and what I take to be similar shutter speed given the finish of the photo.
That said, I wonder if this could be Mike Kelley. The build - from the rear - and hair tally. I have a series of shots of him in a desert setting dated 1962 by Mel Roberts - but no palmetto.
I just checked my Ulrich files, and it's not him. His hair was much darker even when he wore a crew cut, and his torso is shaped a bit differently. Nice, mind you, just different. It does resemble Mike Kelly, though.

DeleteI wasn't meaning it was Ulrich, just the same locale, which looks very similar and known to have been used by Bruce Bellas.
DeleteDuh. I hadn't finished my first cup of coffee when I read that.
DeleteLike you guys, I find the palmetto background tantalizingly familiar. The man has a nice posterior, doesn'he? Nice tan line, too.
ReplyDeleteYes, definitely.
