Bodybuilder Ernie Lopez really shines in this photo by Caruso. Ernie wss known for his great physique, especially his legs. He eventually left Cuba for Canada where he trained at Billy Hill's gym. They became training partners and good friends.
It's been a long time since I've seen a Caruso photograph. So long I can't even remember his first name -- or if I ever knew it. But I'm pretty sure he went by Caruso of Havana.
Lopez et Hill quel spectacle, deux forces de virilite.
ReplyDeleteLe gym Hill's etait bien connu Montrealais, et son amitie avec Alan Stone.
Mes grands-parents du Quebec avaient l'habitude de venir en vacances a Cuba et Haiti dans les annees 1950, dans les deux pays on sentait un malaise parmi la population.
Caruso is Jimmy Caruso (1925-2021) physique photographer and gym owner in Montréal, Canada. You must be thinking Karroll of Havana, a Cuban physique photographer. -Rj
