Dedicated to the published work of Harrison Marks & other prominent photographers of the 1950's, 60's and early 70's. Along with popular glamour models such as June Palmer, Pamela Green, Dawn Grayson and others
I thought I’d already published a version of the 1966 Kamera Calendar cover featuring June Palmer, but looking back through my posts it doesn’t seem like it. Anyway a high quality scan of my own copy of of the 1966 cover featuring a wet looking JP on the Roman Bath Set and I don’t think that green dress could cling to any more places on June!
I’ll continue to edit and repost my scans of the other months from 1966 over the coming weeks.

A double meaning to the title this time, in that it’s a play on Eva’s surname Wild and a bit of a wild shot as she’s laying on a leopardskin rug :) Still a great early shot of Eva Wild by Harrison Marks, but he did like his animal skin rugs back then didn’t he!

Sue Owen in the undergrowth down by the river as she poses nude leaning against a tree! Taken by Harrison Marks this uncensored version of the shot appears in Nature’s Intention Vol.1 No.1, P44 (1969), unsure if a censored version appeared anywhere though? A great view of Sue’s lush bush as she leans back and the location looks to be on a familiar river edge, probably on location at one of GHM’s favourite haunts down in Cornwall?

Two restored shots from original prints of Rochelle Lofting from the 1950’s. These come from a set of four prints of Rochelle sent over by Oxxbridge Galleries and having an educated guess I’d say these look like Harrison Marks shots, but I’m not 100% certain? These two shots also show her pretty prominent smallpox vaccination scar on her upper arm.

Two more Kamera Calendars to add to my collection arrived over the Christmas period, with the 1965 copy filling the only gap I had of the missing calendars. In that I mean I have scans of all calendars from other sources and members, plus 3 original copies I’ve purchased (1960. 1965 and 1966)
As you can see the quality of both Calendars is very good, with the only defect being a slight double print on the cover of the 1965 Calendar, as you can see two sets of Jayne Tracy’s eyes. The inside pages of each calendar are perfect, with little colour fading for 50 years old. You could hang them on the wall today and they wouldn’t look out of place and as you can see the 1965 calendar is attached to a company backing board. Both also came with their original envelopes, but those are a little worn as you can imagine, but did their job and protected the actual calendars. Another bargain win on eBay as I won both for £7.80 including postage, result!
I’ve started scanning the pages of both and will start to share them on here soon :)
The only Dawn Grayson glamour film I have a copy of, which is a shame, but still worth showing as you get to see her lying on a bed and then stripping in some form of dream sequence. This was one of the later glamour films by Harrison Marks under the Kamera Cine Films banner and was produced in 8 mm black and white film in 1967 under the film number E.16.

An artistic pose from Josephine Watson from Kamera No.11 P15 (1958) as she kneels leaning on a small statue base. Her face may be slightly obscured, but we still get a great view of her figure in this very arty shot from GHM.

Two restored prints of Josephine Watson by Harrison Marks. After having only a few shots of her and not knowing who she was I now have several sets of her by GHM, one of which she is posing in front of the familiar floral wallpaper, like these two shots. Very striking feline like make-up and love the rear view in the second shot, as you get to see the dimples on her bum, plus the perfect shape of her boob!
A top-heavy shot of Harrison Marks model Erica, restored from a scan of a print sent over by John from Oxxbridge Galleries. A simple but effective shot showing her greatest assets!
And the final letter for the 2015 Christmas Calendar goes to Sissi Mississippi and an original shot from one of my own negatives. Sissi looks stunning in this pose, especially her hair and dark eyeliner around her eyes, and that’s even before we look at her body! Although the shadow from her thumb does make the shape of her pubic hair look rather odd!
Well that’s it for this year’s Christmas calendar and I hope it’s kept you entertained on the run up to the festivities? All that’s left is to again wish everyone a Merry Christmas and that things will slow down after today as I take a break and enjoy the holidays myself. There may be some more posts, but not as regularly as normal. Normal service will resume in the New Year.
