USMC Blond

I'm reposting the photo of the hairy blond I couldn't identify yesterday.  (Last photo.)  CinemaCapMan sent me the other four photos and, like me, he doesn't have a name.  Maybe someone will recognize him now.  

Thanks to CinemaCapMan. 

Brian tells me AGAIN this is Al Henry.

  1. Handsome, well-built...too bad he's got it in a strap.

  2. I don't know his name but thought he looked familiar. I had four other photos of this guy out by the AMG pool, and I emailed them to you, James.

  3. Well, James, you know you've already posted a photo of this guy with a name.... Al Henry. My software matched him. I thought the tattoo was just a leopard/puma. If you look closely it is a black cat, but a scantily-clad woman is cuddling it! Far out, man!

    1. Thanks Brian! I had a feeling you'd be able to identify this model.
      Out of curiosity, what is this "software" you use to identify models from time to time? I use something called Awesome Duplicate Photo Finder, but that doesn't always work for me 100%.

    2. Thanks Brian. I was going to say I thought I posted one of him already. But then I thought, "Well, Brian will tell me if I did."

    3. Hello, CinemaCapMan! The software I use is ACDSee Photo Studio (Home edition). It's just it's facial recognition capabilities that I use. Presumably it gets better at recognising people as the number of images increases. It can be very good but sadly equally useless at suggesting people. Recently I discovered that it is better at finding faces if I use it's own editing to make a photo truly black and white - many B&W images are stored as a colour image or have been scanned from a photo that has discoloured over time. I've been amazed at how many faces it will see once I switch to B&W that it will never find in the original.

  4. His photo is in PP Vol 7 no3 - Al Henry was an US Marine at that time, before that he worked as a lumberjack and as a tire builder ...
