You included Ramon Novarro! In my opinion, one of the prettiest men to ever grace the silver screen.

Oh, I love me some Ramon Novarro (though I may have been spelling his last name Navarro…oops). Such a rare beauty…and one of the most talented actors of his era!

Well Clint what welcome additions on the SS version 😉 totally 5⭐ The image of the younger guy washing his car in his board shorts is so reminiscent of the 80/90's porn image that was quite famous at the time of suds, hosepipe wett CK tightly whiteys. That was a favourite saved image of mine for many years sighhhhh. Cheers DougT 🇫🇴

Thought you might enjoy that shot, Doug! CK ads were definitely part of my coming out process. The undies are comfy too! :-)

I liked this collection more than the #2 selection. Do people send you photos or do you find them when families clear out a relative's house when they die? Obviously, I am referring to the untitled and personal shots. Thanks again, Clint.

Glad you enjoyed, Ray. The photos come from all over the internet. Tumblr, Pinterest, Google, blogs, forums, auction sites, and even eBay. I’ve had a few folks share some of their family photos and I include some from my photo collection too. But most are found via the Internet.

Sure thing! (In case you're wondering, I’ve turned off notifications on all my apps, including Substack, in an effort to feeling less overwhelmed and reactive. Seems to be working…yay!)

The two men lying on the field says Tuscany to me. It's the columnar trees along the horizon.

I'd say it's definitely European image too but there could be such places in 🇺🇸 Cheers DougT 🇫🇴
