Clay Moore


In our only color shot of the day and the first of two men surnamed Moore, we have Mel Roberts' 
photo of Clay Moore from 1963.  The tree branches frame him rather nicely.

    1. How do you know about high school rings? I didn't think they were well known in Europe.

  2. Mel Roberts seems to have specialized in works in colour. This must have made his publications very expensive. He was, of course, one of the photographers who fell foul of the police and law, was he not?

    1. The color mags would sell for 3-5 dollars in the 60s.
      Bellas mag sold for 50 cents ! So yes, the color mags were expensive.
      Today that 5 dollars would be close to 50 dollars ! Mel Roberts fell afoul of the law even in 1981 and 1992 with no charges brought....:)

    2. He was indeed known for color work, but I haven 't researched his legal history.

  3. I like the composition here, too. And Mr. Moore seems to be comfortable and confident. He sure does not look angry or unhappy.

    1. Yes, he manages to look pleasant without a big smile.

  4. Color does Clay Moore so much justice. Oh, there are some branches in the background. Thank you bunches for finding this photo for me, Jerry.
