Peter Chamberlin

Ending with Peter Chamberlin as photographed by Niel Edwards

 

Waiting on a Call

This guy decided to start the party alone while waiting for that phone call.

 

Phone home

This one is set in Milwaukee in 1958, and the guy on the phone has a cigar.  Meanwhile 

a handsome naked player is counting his change with a phone book in his lap.  

I find it all charming.  The picture was taken by Francis Miller.

 

Vic on the Phone

Our last nude picture of Mr. Seipke shows him on the telephone.

This got a lot of likes on my old tumblr when I posted it there.

 

Sleeping beauty

It's rare that we see low hangers in a reclining shot of this sort, and I'm sure it was carefully staged.

 

Fellas on the Phone

 

Today's theme is men and phones.  We start with a guy who looks like he's getting bored 

waiting for the phone to ring.  I'm sure he'll think of something to do with himself.

I don't know why he's on the phone.  He obviously has a thing going for the photographer.

 

Nobody would put the phone there unless a photographer paid them to.

 

The last time I posted a picture of this fur ball cutie, we had a lively discussion 

about what his name might be.  Several said "Ray," and someone else said Bill Sacto.  

Turns out there was an obscure photographer from the 1960s named Bill Sacto 

who did business as Cyprian Services, so this is probably "Ray by Bill Sacto."

 

You don't see those much any more.

First they were a nickel, then a dime, and finally a quarter.

Then they disappeared.

 

This is Ray Robirds, and every other photo I have of him is by Bruce of LA.

So I'm going to stick my neck out and say this one is, too.

 

They're either calling out for pizza or summoning yet another trollop to join the fun.

And he's using a princess phone, which somehow seems appropriate.

Furballs on the Phone

Today's theme is hairy guys on the phone, and we start with this broadly smiling model.

Those headboards are making a comeback these days in lah-ti-dah bedroom furniture, btw.

Edited to add:  Many thanks to the_cham_cham for identifying Peter Chamberlin.

Someone sent me this model's name near the end of my tumblr days, 

and I foolishly updated only the post, but not my files.  Anybody remember it?

The light here doesn't show off the fur to its best effect,

but the sprawling model on a coffee table impresses on other levels.

Five o'clock shadow provides an extra element for this photo.

This one's only hairy from the waist down,

but I had to include him on general principles.
Edited to add:  This is Fred Frandac according to the always helpful the_cham_cham.

This hairy guy sprawled on a deck making a phone call struck me on some archetypal level.  Having come out during the period covered by Bianchi's pictures, it takes me back to that time.

And are those smooth black pebbles in his hand and at his elbow?  They add something to the image.

Men and Rotary Phones

Saturday is the day I catch up on my phone calls, so that's the blog theme for the day.
