Don Deckman


There are differences of opinion as to who took this photo of Don Deckman and a similar one I posted over two years ago.  Some think they were taken by Lyle Frisby before his death and printed and distributed by his partner Pat Milo later.  Others think Milo did the whole project, and there are a number shots of Mr. Deckman firmly attributed to Milo.  Either way, he is one great model.

    1. And a pretty nice guy, too. One of his ex-wives wrote a glowing eulogy for him.

    2. I well remember you making reference to this in a previous post which just made me appreciate Mr. Deckman even more.

      I know that we will never find out much - if anything - about the real lives of these models but the limited information that you have been able to find about some of them is always interesting and reminds us that these were real people with real lives outside of modelling - which in most cases would have been a one-off or minor part of their lives anyway.

    3. You're right about modeling being just a tiny bit of most of these men's lives.

  2. Are there any BAD pictures of Deckman?

    1. I've never seen one. I think it was impossible to take a bad picture of him.
