Nice Biceps

Another photo of Charlie Wall by Dave Martin.  I'm sure he turned many heads in his day.  

It's Dave Martin Day At MFBT!

I know.  We just took down the Easter decorations and here it is Dave Martin Day at MFBT.  Where does the time go?  

Dave Martin met noted photographer Alonzo Hanagan (aka, Lon of NY) in the late 1940s.  Lon introduced him to what would become known as classic male physique photography -- capturing images of naked men.

In 1951 Martin opened a studio in San Francisco and began photographing athletes from the local colleges and universities, military men and men in law enforcement.  Martin photographed his models in black and white in both the studio and outdoors in the bay area.  He is credited for creating the first physique nude photo using the Golden Gate bridge as a backdrop.

First up is Charlie Wall who looks like he could use a tube of Clearasil.  I doubt he had any problems getting a date on Saturday night.
