Al Mims

Al Mims' back is a work of art in this photograph.

 

George Dureau Day

George Dureau was one of the finest artists to ever come out of New Orleans, and it's been 

far too long since I featured his work here.  We start with Aaron Davis from 1985.

 

John Hinton

I don't know whether to call John Hinton's expression stern or serious.

 

Louis Goins

George Dureau posed Louis Goins on two blocks with good effect.

 

Jordan, Emmett, and Gloria

I find this group composed of Jordan Page, Emmett Johnson, 

and Gloria Johnson to be quite striking.

 

Raymond Maxwell

Is it just me, or does Raymond Maxwell look a teeny bit like O.J. Simpson here?

 

Alvin Soco

This is Alvin Soco.

 

Glenn Thompson

Based on the number of photos he took of him,

I'd say Mr. Dureau enjoyed working with Glenn Thompson.

 

Otto Battiste

Otto Battiste looks very muscular in his tank top.

 

Emmett Johnson

Finishing the George Dureau series with Emmett Johnson,

a model who got favorable comments on previous posts.

 

Cowboy Bob Lang

Our final brick shit house man is Cowboy Bob Lang by George Dureau from 1979.

 

George Dureau Day

It's time for another George Dureau series, and we start 

with Emmett Johnson who looks like be belongs on a throne.

 

George Wilson

Some guys can look amazingly sexy with their jeans on, 

and George Wilson is one of them.  The photo is from 1977.

 

Chico Rodriguez

This is Chico Rodriguez.

 

Battiste

The painted body makes this photo of a model known only as "Battiste" even more striking.

 

Cowboy Bob Lang

George Dureau took some memorable photos of wrestler Cowboy Bob Lang.

 

Louis and Jeffrey

Dureau called this one "Louis and Jeffrey as Hercules and Antaeus."

 

Troy Brown

By my reckoning, George Dureau took more photos of Troy Brown 

than any other model.  It's easy to see why.

 

John L. Hawkins

This is John L. Hawkins from 1983.

 

Glen Thompson

The lighting and soft focus really work well in this picture of Glen Thompson.
