697-698 - Another Head and Shoulders Above
Our last pairing is another one where one guy stands head and shoulders above the other.
I do find both of them to be quite pleasant to look at, though.
I know these shots weren't taken with artistic or photographic esthetics in mind, but these and the ones from Yale (Harvard?) are really at the opposite end of that spectrum, aren't they?
These were very interesting when perused over carefully, the difference in musculature and posture and overall body shape is fascinating in a way. I imagine that's where the saying "they come in all shapes and sizes" is derived from. Lol.
It's interesting that as a group, they don't have much body hair.
ReplyDeleteThey don't seem to, but that could be the result of "blanching," a consequence of the flash photography of the time.

ReplyDeleteYes, they were never intended to be artistic, but most likely a scientific survey of body types.

ReplyDeleteYes, that's the long and the short of it.
DeleteLol. And to think I used to be self conscious about towering over everyone, just a bit under 6'2.
DeleteI recently returned from a trip to Estonia and Finland, and oddly enough not a single guy I met would pose for me in this fashion!
ReplyDeleteOh well, at least you tried.
