A scan of one of my own growing collection of negatives, this time June Russell posing sat in a coloured striped deckchair! I love this shot and can just imagine coming across June sat on the beach like this, well maybe not, but one can imagine.
Monique: Anything Good to Watch?
A great rearview of Monique Devereux’s rear as she poses for Harrison Marks in front of the TV in his flat. I sometimes think I prefer her rearview to the front, as it is a nice arse! Great shot from GHM in his flat and the ceramic cats make an appearance on the top of the TV and a great shot of Maggie Nolan on the wall in the background. I have several shots of Margaret posing like that in the forest, but don’t think I have that one?
A great shot of Monique to kick off my return from Holiday all refreshed and ready to go again, so normal service has resumed :)
Bobby Sparrow Uncovered (1972)
Bobby Sparrow without her wig, and Terry remembers that he worked with her several times during 1971 and 1972, mostly shooting the stockings and suspender belt style photo for the American market. She usually wore the wig and the only picture of her without one is above, but it does match them to a similar one published in Oui.
Terry also recounts that she was a very lively girl and good fun to have a laugh with. “I remember one occasion when she proudly showed me her pubic area trimmed into a heart shape. I think her current boyfriend was a hairdresser”.
“I don’t know what happened to her after about 1973 as we lost touch, but I did see a rather distressing article in a national newspaper sometime in the mid 1990s. It concerned an ex-glamour model called Roberta something, who had developed MS and was terminally ill. There was a picture of a very sick lady laying in bed, and I just could not make up my mind if it was her or not. I do remember that her real name was Roberta, so it may have been her, or it may have been someone totally different”.
Thanks to Terry for the story and hopefully the last part isn’t true, and it wasn’t Bobby, but unfortunately these things do happen. Thanks also to Terry for more shots of Bobby at Pegwell bay and that heart shaped bush!
Jennifer’s Curve Appeal
And no, before you comment, I haven’t cropped this shot! It’s one of those arty shots by Harrison Marks that appeared in the early editions of Kamera. I also happen to know the model is Jennifer Garland, as I’ve seen several fuller images of her similar to this, plus the freckles on her legs helped identify her. :)
What a fabulous pose showing off her body and the curve of that bottom :)
A Blue Dawn!
Another scan from my growing collection of Dawn Grayson medium format negatives, again no nude stuff, just an underwear shot! Saying that, it’s a fantastic shot of Dawn kneeling on the bed in a blue underwear set and the quality and colours from this negative were excellent, with very little tweaking required.
All Steamed Up with Paula
Another shot from my set of Paula Ellis posing in the sauna by Harrison Marks and from a scan of the original negative, this time a colour version. Paula only seems to have posed for one set of photo’s by Harrison Marks, and all were on the sauna set. Several of these images were published in New Kamera No.1 (1969) and all were black and white, so nice to see an original colour shot.
