One of Bob Mizer's earliest models, and one of his favorites. This image was photographed circa 1950 (possibly earlier). Forrester would make a return to AMG in the late 50s as "Forrest ...

Tabby has been a favorite of mine from the moment I first saw him, twenty or so years ago. This is a new photo of him that I just found and had to share with you right away. His eyes are...

I had a request for more of Ken Dockter, which I think denotes a mark of good taste, so here you go, Titan!

Who was/were "Lynch-Patrick?" Got me! But it's stamped clearly so on the back of the photograph. Dale Curry needs no introduction, having been a popular model for AMG, Lyle Frisby, Fred Kov...

I love these old personal photos.

Bob Delmonteque was a spectacular-looking man all his life -- I got to say Hello! to him at a gallery opening in 2004 and he was stunning at 85 years old! -- but the early photographs of him take...

Gerry was photographed by both AMG and Bruce of LA, but this looks like it could almost be a Milo shot. To muddy the attribution waters further, this photo has a DSI code number superimposed in...
I'm not 100% certain that these photos feature the same duo. But don't you just love those oh-so-Fifties haircuts on full display in the first shot? (And I have a special love for tal...
