Jim Morris and Jan Gilbert


That's Jim Morris at left with Jan Gilbert in a photo 
similar to one I posted of them several years ago.

  1. Forbidden fruit.
    The mere suggestion of interracial relations was daring of Lon at that time, especially of a black man and a white man posing nude together.
    Wonder how Lon’s clients in the Deep South and parts of the Mid-West responded….:)

    1. Just has he didn't flinch when it came to photographing men of color, Lon didn't hesitate to show them with white meh.

    2. It's a beautiful photo, and I'm glad that Lon had the courage to ESCHEW the ethos of '50s American society!

  2. Way ahead of his time when it came to smashing barriers.
