While I don't have a photographer attribution for this photo, I think it is probably by either
Earle Forbes or Edwin Townsend. I find it interesting because the utterly ordinary pose is
accented by a sort of off center sunrise lighting effect at the ankles. Odd, but I like it.
I guess the lighting makes it look like he has tan lines in this shot. And that sunrise is so cool!
ReplyDeleteI think you are right about the lighting, but I suppose it's possible this was made during a time in which he wasn't sunbathing nude.
DeleteWhat a great selection of photos of this iconic bodybuilder. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYou probably already know this but Charles Atlas once called him "the most beautiful man in America". No argument here!
You're welcome, James! Yes, I've read the Atlas comment before, but it's good to see it again.
