Dick


This tasteful semi-nude of Dick Finley was shot on September 17, 1948 in San Francisco.
Mr. White and subsequent curators have done a great job at dating his work.

  1. Excellent series (as always!), James. Isn't Dick's surname spelt: Fenley? That's how I have it.

  2. Oops, I meant, Jerry!! I can't delete the comment, it seems.

    1. No problem, Brian. As far as the spelling goes, when this model worked for Russ Warner and Denny Denfield, they used the Fenley spelling. Minor White and/or his subsequent curators (including Princeton University) always spelled it Finley. I'll go with two versus one, and just add that this isn't at all unusual.
