Minor White Day


A few weeks ago, a viewer correctly pointed out that a photo I had posted resembled 
Minor White's work more than George Platt Lynes.  So today will be Minor White Day, 
and we start with a favorite model, Tom Murphy, from 1947-48.

 

Earle Curtis I


        Minor White took this photo of Earle Curtis near LaGrande, Oregon in the summer of 1941.


 

Gino Cipolla


This is Gino Cipolla as photographed at Portland, Oregon in 1938.

 

Atmospheric


Minor White took this atmospheric photo of Robert Bright at San Pedro Point, California in 1947.

 

Cliff Miles




All over tattoo man Cliff Miles posed for Minor White in Rochester, NY in 1958.

 

Shirtless Portrait


My source didn't give a name for the model, but he looks like Tom Murphy to me.

 

Earle Curtis II


Here is a second photo of Earle Curtis from the 1941 Oregon photo shoot.
 

Portrait II


I really like this portait of an unknow man.

 

Tom Murphy II


Here is a second photo of Tom Murphy dated 1948.



 

1973


Our last Minor White photo is the most recent in my collection.
It's Tom Shuler taken at Lakeville, Connecticut in 1973.

Pat Milo Day


It's time for my quarterly all Pat Milo series,
starting with Tony Sabatino.

 

Robert Rex


Pat Milo did an extensive body of work with Robert Rex, sometimes 
with his brother Bill.  I post some fraternal duos in a future set.

 

Cliff Cotter


While he also worked for Bob Mizer at AMG, 
I think Cliff Cotter did his best work for Pat Milo.

 

Bill Grant


I wasn't quite sure that this was Bill Grant until I saw an entry on another blog by Cambria who confirmed the ID.  Cambria is a wealth of information on classic era physique photos.

 

Ray Scheid


The tan lines are noteworthy on this photo of a stern looking Ray Scheid.

 

Roger Cote


Roger Cote gives us his best tough guy look in this one.

 

Bob Baxter


Here we see Bob Baxter standing by a giant hand.
I'd love to know where Pat Milo got that thing.

 

Chuck Steury


Pat Milo posed Chuck Steury with a marble column and a vase.
