Frank Collier Day

It's been several years since I did a full series on the work of Frank Collier, an East Coast photographer who was prosecuted by the authorities in the 1950s.  We begin with Ron Dzvorcin.

 

Sheldon "Bugs" Deal I

I'm still hoping someone out there knows how Sheldon "Bugs" Deal got his nickname.  When I asked a few years ago, no one knew.  He will appear again later today in a different pose.

 

Fred DeLuca I

Based on the number of photos of him in my collection, Fred Deluca may have been one 

of Frank Collier's favorite models.  He appears later in todays series in a different pose.

 

Frank Klutka

Frank Klutka was a champion bodybuilder who went on to a career

as a union steward for the railroad workers.

 

Alex Pilin

Mr. Pittsburgh 1953, Alex Pilin, appeared in an ad for Frank Collier

when his photo business was based in Erie, Pennsylvania.

 

Sheldon "Bugs" Deal II

This item from Butch magazine disappoints in image quality,but we still

 get a fine impression of Sheldon "Bugs" Deal'simpressive physique 

and posing ability.  This is from the same photo shoot

 as an earlier picture of Bugs in today's set.

 

Al Redinger

We get a nice smile from Al Redinger.

 

Fred DeLuca II

In Fred DeLuca's second appearance today,we get 

a view of his derriere and an interesting chair.

 

Nick Lacausi

We get a significant fur factor in this photo of Nick Lacausi

which Frank Collier published under his DeZign marque.

 

Fred Kingston

Our last Frank Collier model is Fred Kingston

who appears to be gesturing vigorously.
