Hammond & Paris Again

Morgan Hammond and Jim Paris (standing) in an uncredited photo.  A few readers contacted me and stated the photos are from Mike Scott.  

Parker & Sweezy

Brian sent in some additional photos of Bob Parker and Chris Sweezy from AMG.  The last two photos of Chris are not something you would expect from that studio. 

BTW...if this is from a movie, I an unable find any record of it. 

Cambria says the photos are from Mike Scott.  

Wait a Minute...

At first I thought this might be a new photo of Brawny -- now known as John Chapman.  Anyone else think so?  The photo is from Mike Scott.  

Cute Pair

Does anyone recognize the guy on the left posing with Jim Paris?  AMG, I think. 

See comments below.  Readers had a great discussion on the name of this mystery guy.  Turns out he is Morgan Hammond.  

Henry in SC believes Paris never posed full nude for AMG.  Searching through my photos of this popular model, I think he's right.  So the name of this photographer remains unknown.  

I want to thank everyone who commented.  It's the main reason I do this blog.  It's an opportunity to celebrate the men who did posed 50, 60 or more years ago and put a name to the model and photographer.  Like pioneers, they blazed a trail. 

See comments.  Photo is from Mike Scott.

Tied Up

I recently learned John Manning posed for Mike Scott and this photo was offered as evidence.

Jim was 5ft 3in and weighed 120lbs.  Joe was 5ft 4in and weighed 135 lbs.  Both guys originally started in the posing pouch era.

Instead of leather jackets, they wear tighty whities.

Interesting Photo

Mike Scott took this photo of Bob Mizer (chair) at work by the AMG pool.  I don't recognize any of the models, but since they are fully naked, I would assume this is post 1968.  I have suspected for a while these guys had met.

Thanks to Brian E. and Guido! 

Heavy Sack

Unknown model from Mike Scott.

More!

Brian E. sent me the two photos below related to my posts regarding my first nudes of Jim Lassiter and Shan Daymore. As a bonus for me, that's Lou La Venture in the top photo on the left and that's now my first nude pic of Lou. 

In the second photo Lou is on the left again and Jim is on the right.  We weren't sure who the guy was in the middle, but I think I'll take a stab at it.  That's Shan Daymore.  Not to be cruel, but Shan was not what one would call heavy hung. 

I think both photos are from Mike Scott.

Thanks to Brian for the photos. 

Found Treasure

The top photo in this post recently appeared over at Jerry's excellent blog VMM and my first thought was how much the guy on the left looked like AMG model Shan Daymore.  I've posted plenty of photos of Shan in the past, so I did some compare and contrast and thought my hunch was pretty much on spot.  I commented so on his blog and an anonymous reader added he thought the other guy was Jim Lassiter (aka, Larry Lamb).  The lightbulb went on over my head.  Yeah, he was right.  I also commented it was the first time I've seen either of the two sans posing pouch. I was almost right. Roughly two and a half years ago I posted one uncredited nude photo of Jim. 

Jerry commented this photo is from Mike Scott and the photographer was known to have had ties with Bob Mizer.  That makes sense and it makes me wonder if there are any more AMG models who tossed the pouch and posed for Mr. Scott.  Shan and Jim were active with AMG from approximately 1961 through 1963.  I can think of several models from that period I'd like to see au natural. 

I did a search for Shan Daymore photos and look what I found!  Two Milo photos of lovely Shan. (Of course it would be Milo.)  So I quickly went from zero nude photos of Shan, to three.  Nice.

For comparison, here's my only other nude photo of Jim. 

Look What I Found

Two more photos of John Bragg.  I know he posed for Champion, but these photos were attributed to Mike Scott.  I have some doubt on that. 

John Manning

I'm a big fan of John Manning, so I'm lucky that he got around to many of the California photographers.  This photo is (I believe) from Mike Scott and appeared in one of the Physique Pictorial issues from the mid-1960s.
