What John Manning lacked in character, he may have made up for in physical attraction.
In and out of jail much of his life, he is said to have fathered over two dozen
children, the bulk of whom he did not bother to support. Lyle Frisby
photographed him and at least one of his two brothers.
Why do I get the impression that many of these models are photographed with their lungs full of air and frozen before exhaling? (I don't know if I'm making myself clear)
ReplyDeleteOh, you're making yourself quite clear, Albert, and you have a very good point. More than a few models did that to make their chests look bigger and their bellies look smaller for the camera. Vanity.
DeleteThe reply above was me. I got signed out somehow.
DeleteI would never have known! It's a great shot regardless. He had brothers, I wonder if they had a checkered past also.
ReplyDeleteBob Mizer commented that it was difficult to photographe all three brothers at once because at least one of them was likely to be in jail at any given time.
DeleteZweifellos ein Höllentreiber / „Hellraiser“.
ReplyDeleteEr ist ein Wunder, dass er die Disziplin hatte, nackt für Herr Frisby zu poserien. :\
