Magic Mike

Mike Sill by Dave Martin.  It would surprise few (if any) readers to learn this is my favorite photo of Mike. 

Sweet Note

Mike Sill put a personal message on this photograph.  

"To Dave Martin, a great photographer and a sincere friend.  Wishing you the very best in all your endeavors in your field of photography.  Sincerely, Mike Sill." 

Under The Boardwalk

Walt Needham (left) and Mike Sill look like they're holding up the boardwalk in this photo I had labeled as a Dave Martin photo.  Well, I don't think so.  Dave would never allow his shadow to appear in the frame.  Unless he was trying to emulate Barrington. :)

Mike Sill in a photo by Bruce of LA.  I think Mike looked better with his natural brunet hair.  

Born John Michael Sill, he participated in many bodybuilding contests in the late 1950s.  He was named Mr. Western America in 1957 around the time this photo was taken.
