This is another of the photos from the conceptual group by an unknown photographer.
For those of you hoping for nudity in today's series, this is the best we will do.
Interestingly, I have seen autographed prints of this one where
Mr. Grimek signed his name across the derriere.
This series was so well-behaved that it could have been sponsored by a priests' association, but this photo puts everything back in order with a behind that would make a work of art pale in comparison!
ReplyDeleteYes, this is a real gem.
DeleteI have been collecting his photos for years, he's a favourite and in my opinion the best ever.
ReplyDeleteYes, he had a good reputation.
DeleteTrès bonne présentation du Grimek.
ReplyDeleteYou honor him and his photographers.
Merci beaucoup :)
Thank you for your kind comment.
DeletePhoto by a young John Grimek using a self timer from 1928. Photographed at clay pits near his home town of Perth Amboy NJ….:)
ReplyDeleteFascinating! I had no idea.
DeleteThx so much for this info. I intended to ask if this was actually a photo of Grimek bec it looks so different from his other pics. I now have another "keeper" for my files!!!
