Jean Spaul – Bill Poster Pose!

Jean Spaul posing against some bill posters for a shot for Kamera Backstage (1959). Looking very glamorous and made up in this shot with thick black eyelashes and perfect lipstick, very 1950’s!

Pamela Green – Just Her Dancing Shoes!

A young Pamela Green with short dark hair posing in a ballet pose in just her ballet shoes. This appeared in Grace and Beauty No.2 (1950’s). Poor quality image, but the magazine itself wasn’t in good shape, not surprising for over 60 years old!

Mandy Morgan – Girl Illustrated

Mandy Morgan from Girl Iluustrated Summer Collection (1966). Another English beauty that I read somewhere posed for Harrison Marks, but as of yet been unable to find any such images of her.  That’s not to say she didn’t as she probably had a different name! She also posed with Margaret Middleton!

Margaret Nolan – QT No.68 Cover

Margaret Nolan on the cover of QT Magazine No.68 and she was also QT Beauty of the Month for this edition. Unfortunately my copy has the centre pages missing so can’t share that with you, unless someone else has a copy? Also anyone guess the date as not sure on this one? (Portland?)

The Kamera Club – One Year Old!

Another milestone for this blog this week, as well as the 1000th post a few weeks ago, I’ve been running this blog for a year! In that time I’ve made 1017 posts with over a million views and had over 900 comments or feedback on what I’ve posted! Not bad for a little blog I set up so I could enjoy images and articles around Harrison Marks, Kamera and other photographers and models from the 1950’s and 60’s! Yes, I may have wandered with the content and subject matter a little, but hey it’s my blog :)

Images of the opening of GHM’s photography exhibition at Gerrard Street,
 including guests Pamela Green and Harry H. Corbett who opened the exhibition.

The last year has gone by in a blur and my passion for Kamera and this blog hasn’t diminished one bit, I’d say I’m more passionate about it and sharing all that fabulous work more than ever.  I’ve come across some great work, both common and some unseen and been able to share it all here.  I’ve made some great contacts that not only interact with me and the site, but have provided great insight and content from their own experiences. This has not only enhanced this site, but spawned ‘Just June’ a separate blog dedicated to the lovely June Palmer. I’ve also been contacted by some of the models that posed for GHM that are still around today, who have enjoyed the blog and that just blew me away as great praise indeed.

Thanks must go to everyone for supporting this site, including John W for all of his support and June content, Simon, Portland, Roop, Oldiznewagain, David, PhilD and the list goes on and on.

Where next? Onwards and upwards as they say! I will continue to post the things I enjoy and find for my own and everyone else’s pleasure. Where will it be in another year, who knows but I hope you stay to find out.

Thanks everyone!

Wonder


Terry Maloney or Georgette Gautier?

The debate rages on as to whom this model is and all I asked was was it Paula Page! Well thanks to Portland and his investigation I think we’ve solved or come to a conclusion about who the model is? It’s both Terry Maloney and Georgette Gautier, as images of both appear under both names and both have the same figure, boobs etc. So yet another model that used or had different modelling names!
