Larry Lara


Closing out the set with a special photo of Larry Lara, the lover of another excellent photographer, Crawford Barton.  Larry and Crawford were important figures in the emerging San Francisco 
gay community of the late 1960s and 1970s.  Jim French did an amazing group of photos 
of Larry,and I plan to post an entire set of them.  Sadly, both Larry 
and Crawford died of AIDS in the early 1990s.

  2. Colt Studios (alias Jim French)...the gold standard for male photography! Thanks for posting photos of some lesser known models...at least to me!

  3. Dear Jerry, I must confess I was left a little unsatisfied yesterday with all those handsome men in swimsuits. It's sometimes good not to see everything, as you often say, but I still felt something was missing. However, today is pure ecstasy! This series is magnificent in every way! The models are extraordinary, muscular, but not super-bodybuilder like the musclemen of today! Plus, that last model is hairy, just the way I like them! Bravo for this series!
