Ann Walker by Harrison Marks wearing just a white fur shawl on the Wild West Saloon set from Kamera No.44 P14 (1961). I need to dig out a few more shots of Ann Walker as I’ve neglected her for a while on this blog and I love the wanted poster in the background of this shot.

An original from my collection of June with long hair posing against a cliff face backdrop as she opens up and prepares to drop a bathrobe she was wearing. This shot is more of a tease than anything else, as we start to see June’s body with a glimpse of bum and boob, but not much else. Oh the anticipation!

Vera Novak posing on the doorstep of the cottage at Ewhurst Manor and a familiar location for many a Harrison Marks model during his many trips to Ewhurst. The two gas like lamps either side of the door give it a certain symmetry, although I’m not quite sure why Vera has her leg in that position?

The full un-cropped version, giving more of a view of the cottage windows at Ewhurst, but not really adding much more to the shot of Vera. I think my cropped version looks visually better than straight from the negative?[/member]

It’s been a while since a Brenda Graham post, so a simple shot of her with clothes on (sort of!) in the great outdoors. Although that cardigan is hardly on! I have another from this same set, but she is again still in the grey cardigan and panties, but on assumes they come off or at least the top later in the set?
Another mini set sent through by Terry Sparks from his collection of models he transferred to SVHS tape, this time Terry Graham, so Terry by Terry! These shots were taken in 1969 at a flat Terry rented out in Notting Hill and down on a beach in Bournemouth and Terry Graham isn’t quite as recognisable as she has lighter hair than the normal brunette we are used to seeing her with. Not sure if it was a wig or dyed?
A beautiful mini set by Terry again and although small still worth seeing :)
A superb shot of Terry Graham in blue panties posing with a box of chocolates in front of the familiar fire place that she has posed in front of before here. I love this shot of Terry in blue panties and if you’re not old enough to understand the title, here’s a link to help and bring back a bit of nostalgia.

Sorry not many posts recently due to the back still being bad, but hopefully this will make up for things? Kay Stephens otherwise known as Dawn Grayson from a scan of an original negative posing on a garden pathway in stockings and garters! I have several of Dawn/Kay from this set posing on this garden pathway beneath an arbour, but this has to be one of my favourites. Dawn looking very glamorous in this shot, as she runs her hand up a stockinged leg, but no idea as to location?

A lack of posts this week due to being spaced out on drugs with a very bad back, but one to keep you going and definitely something I couldn’t do at the moment! Gloria Lomax balancing on the top of the sofa in black stockings and white panties and from the same set as this shot.

Well winter has finally landed in the UK this week with the first real hard frosts and snow in places. So this original image of June dressed in gloves, boots and sheepskin coat seems appropriate today.

Five shots of Trudy Eyre (Angela Duncan) taken by Terry Sparks. As I said in a previous post I hadn’t realized that Terry had taken any photo’s of Trudy until he sent these, but then he explained he had and that her real name (or name on the cheques) was Trudy.
A couple of things you will notice about these shots. Some are very familiar and if you look on some of the vintage forums you will see similar images to these at the same location that have been published in various men’s publications during the late 1960’s and 70’s. Secondly and unfortunate, these images are only small and not up to the usually high standard I get from Terry, but there is a reason for that, which I’m sure Terry won’t mind me sharing. As Terry explains – “My own black/white files, some 27000 negatives were all destroyed in 2003 at the behest of her indoors. Something I have bitterly regretted ever since, as they would have been worth a few bob on Ebay. The only good news is that I took three or four shots of the best girls and transferred them onto a SVHS tape before the destruction took place. I am hoping to be able to digitise the tape onto my PC and then get some prints off, so far without much success.” Well Terry managed to get some images off the tape and those are the ones above.
Hearing Terry’s story I think I was as gutted to hear this story as he was! Think of all those great images I could have shared, but then I realize what I’ve already seen and shared and I’m glad Terry has shared what he managed to retain. Plus we do get a glimpse at some of the models such as Trudy that he had the pleasure of shooting over his career.
Thanks to Terry as always for sharing an insight into his collection :)
