Peter Berlin


I saved the worst for last.  This is the always narcissistic Peter Berlin, a guy who quit
 mideling to take up photography.  Not the first one to do that, but the only 
one I know of who took photos of hardly anyone except himself.

  1. Not to be unkind, but I just don't get him. Maybe it's the shag hairdo and the perpetual lacertine pose. Oh well, to each his own.

    1. You used to see him, back in the 70s, peacocking around Polk Street in one or another of his cheesy getups. I found him revolting.

    2. Many share your opinion, yet this guy shows up over and over in the collections focused on that era. "Cheesy" covers it from my point of view.

  2. I found this posting interesting and unique. A few more full frontal shots might have enhanced it a bit, but all in all, yet another great posting, Jerry. Thanks! BigDude

  3. Very interesting series. It must have been a fascinating place, for lack of a better word. Peter Berlin was also fascinating. He would have made an interesting psychological study, which he would have loved. I would have done it!

    1. Glad you appreciated the series, VV! Yes, Peter Berlin would have been a good psychology lesson.

  4. I have several friends who still socialize with him and he’s still trying to stay the same in his 80’s. San Francisco is always interesting.

  5. Never did a thing for me .. ever! He seemed "dated" even in his heyday. Lol. Give me Jack Wrangler any day. Never took himself seriously and was fun to boot.

    1. I think I have enough material, so why not? I don't have to be a fan to post a theme that's of interest to my viewers.

  7. The first and only photo I've ever seen of him with his cock out.
