Dawn Grayson – Seductively Silent! (Original)

  By

Another fabulous shot from the set of Dawn Grayson posing on a bed at Ewhurst in just tights similar to this shot. Again, I love this cheeky little shot a lot, not only because it’s Dawn, but her pose and look says so much, hence the title seductively silent. I also love the fact those tights are slightly rolled down, perfect! Also at  2:15 in the afternoon what else is there to do but be semi naked on the bed looking seductive 🙂

Jackie Lippiatt – A Lady Always Wears a Hat! (Original)

  By

After seeing Jackie’s rear view bent over the chaise lounge in this shot, time for the front view! This time a colour shot of Jackie Lippiatt from Terry Sparks , giving us a  front view of her figure and pussy. Nice sheepskin rug, but I’m not sure about the big floppy hat she’s wearing, but hay who’s looking at the hat!

Site Hosting Update

  By
Having slept on and digested the news that I can no longer host The Kamera Club on Google’s free Blogger site due to the content I post I’ve decided the site will continue in some form, but I’m still looking at options.

The reason for doing this site in the first place was for several reasons, I love the subject of glamour photography from back in the 1950’s and 60’s and it still fascinates me today. I want to try and capture this content, the models, magazines and photographers before we lose it and this format is a good way of sharing it with others. I’ve had lots of great feedback and interaction from others that also enjoy the subject now or were part of it back then.  I have made lots of good contacts, that not only provide lots of great information to the site, but original content as well! For all these reasons it seems a shame to stop now.
Now the hard bit! I make no money from the site and do it because I like doing it and want to share the content I have.  A free site made this easy, as I had no overhead costs, other than my time and effort, but now if I want to continue to share the content I need to move the blog and the options I have are:
  • Stop completely – Can’t do it, won’t do it and would be gutted if I had to stop!
  • Use another free hosting site such as Tumblr – I have a matching Tumblr blog for The Kamera Club and it has over 6000 followers, but again it comes back to control. Layout and design is restricted and I again have no control over the content should Tumblr decide it’s unsuitable and delete the account or content!
  • Pay for hosting for a WordPress site – I do this for my Just June site (thanks to a generous donation) and it works well.  I have complete control and freedom to post and do as I wish, the interaction is good and I have great creative control, but at a cost!
Anyway those are my options and I’m moving towards a paid hosted site, but looking at the costing options now.
So a question, would you pay for the content and access to the site? I have always tried to avoid having you to sign up as members to my sites, be it free or paid as I have always believed the content should be free for all to access without restrictions or username and passwords to remember. But would you support the site and keep it free and open with a one off donation?  No fixed fee, just a one off, whatever you can afford payment to help towards the hosting so it can continue?  As you can see with the official Harrison Marks site, even with a one off payment for membership, but restricting content to paid up members the site has struggled and will be closing later this year, a model that I want to avoid.
So what are your thoughts?
I’ll continue to look at the options, but want to thank you all for your support and contributions thus far as it’s been fantastic and long may it continue!
Cheers,
W

Lynn’s Luscious Lips (1962)

  By


The stunningly gorgeous Lynn Shaw and those perfectly luscious lips! Although taken in the mid 1950’s this version of the shot appears in Fotag No.2 (1962), but it originally appeared in Kamera No.2 (1957). Lynn Shaw is without doubt one of the most stunning early GHM models I have seen with those eyes and lips!

I’ve published a set of the Fotag magazine covers here, but I’m not sure if it’s a full set as even the official GHM publication database only lists 6 issues, whereas I have 8 covers! Apart from its title and the fact that it did not carry the name ‘Harrison Marks’ on its cover, it is in virtually every other respect just like Kamera, with 48 pages plus cover in the same format and layout. Even many of the photographs reproduced were the same photos used in Kamera and other associated magazines.

Rosalie Peters – Letting Her Hair Down! (1967)

  By

Nearly all of the shots I have of Rosalie Peters have her posing on the Lily Place set in snow with long blonde wig or with her hair up in a ponytail.  This is the first I’ve seen of her without a wig and her hair down and must say I much prefer this look!  This shot comes from Kamera No.81 (1967) and is one of two shots of her in this edition, the second also with her hair down but a fuller body shot.  If you read the details about Rosalie in the Harrison Marks Model Database, she only did one full shoot for GHM at Lily Place, so one assumes that included these shots, as well as the winter shots that appear in Kamera No.79.
She also made one glamour film , No.87, ‘Keep Young & Beautiful’ filmed on the bathroom set, where GHM did take some more stills of her, but again with her hair up! I think this shot must be my favourite though.
