Kamera on Location (1958)

No comments:
In July I eventually managed to get hold of a copy of the 1958 hardback publication of 'Kamera on Location' by Harrison Marks. I've been after this book for sometime, but whenever it appeared on eBay it always went beyond my financial limit, due to it's rarity.  Anyway one came up in July on eBay and I found it by accident as it wasn't published under Harrison Marks, but vintage books. The condition was down as very good, but missing the dust cover and a price of £30, so I decided to go for that price and see what happened, well after 7 days of waiting to be outbid I won it for the asking price and a day later it turned up.

For those purists out there the lack of dust cover may have stopped most people, but for me I was after the book and content itself.


As you can see upon inspection the condition of the book itself is spot on, with the internal pages being clean, crisp and clear. The images of Pamela Green, Marie Deveraux & Lorraine Burnett within are exquisite, as you have seen from the scans here. So from my point of view worth every penny and another of Harrison Marks books to my growing collection. I now have Pamela & Kamera on Location, but still missing an actual copy of Vera & She Walks in Beauty, although I do have full scans of both books :)


As an added bonus, included in the book by the seller was the article below from an unknown magazine all about Harrison Marks and Kamera on Location, plus the inside parts of the dust cover.


I love this book and hope you do as I post more pages of it in the coming months ... Enjoy!

Pamela Green - The Golden Hour!

No comments:

Did Pamela Green ever take a bad photo? Looking at those I've published and seen so far I don't think so, in fact the camera loved her and whatever pose she tried seemed to work. 

The above image is a good example of her at her best posing for Harrison Marks on the Scilly Isles for Kamera on Location (1958). Taken with one of GHM's Rolleiflex (F.16/125) with a medium green filter in the golden hour (The hour before sunset) it captures Pam's glistening body in the setting sun to perfection.  The shape she had her body, the curve of the hip toward the camera and not even looking at the camera all set this shot up and seems so effortless. Truly the golden age of glamour photography I believe!

June Simpson - What's New Pussycat!

No comments:

June Simpson posing on a leopardskin rug from Photographic Rhythm No.1. Another great shot from Lawrence Venn of June, but it again looks cut out and pasted on a white background!

A Vintage Year for Lorraine Burnett!

No comments:


Lorraine Burnett on the front cover and inside pages of Monsieur No.10 (Late 1950's) posing in a black negligee and nude with a backdrop of wine bottles in a rack. What a nice rack it is!

Margaret Warhurst - A Classic 1950's Glamour Pose

No comments:

A restored 35mm slide featuring a young Margaret Warhurst, scanned and restore from a Walton Glamour slide from the late 1950's. A simple, but mesmerizing pose of Margaret on a chaise lounge!

An Impressive Bush From Carla!

No comments:


These 2 shots are from restored 35mm slides, that were again originally colour but so badly faded I converted them to black and white. Both shots are of a model named 'Carla' on the slides, but I have no doubt that this is also Pat Ebden showing us a lot more than usually seen with her! A sneak peak of her in the top shot, then full on bush in the bottom shot although a little blurry! 

To validate my reasoning that it is Pat Ebden, look at this shot of Pat & Tina Madison, same bed but different background and looking at Pat I would say taken at roughly the same time? I prefer the top shot and pose, just showing us a glimpse of something we shouldn't see :)

Eve Eden - It's All in the Eyes!

No comments:



Right! before anyone moans about the bad editing, other than scanning and removing some scratches I've not touched these images of Eve Eden! These images are all from Photographic Rhythm No.1 by Lawrence Venn and raise all sorts of questions. Like why were the images not only retouched in the nether regions, but also the eyes! If you look closely the eyes on these and most of the other pages in this magazine look drawn on and not very well! It also looks as if Eve herself has been cut out and pasted onto a white or black background, again very badly. The top images is the best, but they get progressively worse as you go down the page. Which raises the question ... why? I know the main attraction of Ms Eden wasn't her eyes, but still I can't stop staring at them, when really my attention should be focussed on her wonderful figure, especially the second image :)

Ann Austin by Russell Gay

No comments:

Wow! Need I same more but Ann Austin in all her big boobed glory by Russell Gay and published in Model No.14. An Ideal candidate for Oldiznewagain :)

Virginia Green in Full Length Colour!

No comments:

Virginia Green in full colour from the centre pages of Model No.14 by Russell Gay. This was a tri-fold spread across 3 pages carefully stitched together for your viewing pleasure. What an absolutely fantastic curvy figure Virginia had and on view here, apart from the retouching of the nether regions a perfect shot!

Pamela Green in Colour (Coloured)

No comments:
Another cheating post with two more images coloured by Oldiznewagain, this time Pamela Green with both images from the late 1950's. One has her with dark hair and the other with long blonde hair, but a wig and not the blonde hair we are so familiar seeing her with in the 1960's. Coloured version followed by the original :)


Kamera on Location (1957)



Jane Matthews

No comments:


Two restored 35mm slides of Jane Matthews from the early 1960's. The originals were colour but the slides had degraded so much all that was left was the magenta colour and despite best efforts no other colour could be restored, so decided to convert them to black and white. At a guess I'd say these were late 1950's or early 1960's and taken by Bob Robson, as they match these two shots of June Palmer

Lorraine Burnett in Colour (Coloured)

No comments:
I can't keep up with the quantity and quality of the coloured images at which Oldiznewagain is churning them out, so cheating and taking the easy option and adding a few in one post to try and catch up!

Two shots of Lorraine Burnett coloured from two of my original posts, with the original after each coloured version.


Kamera Special No.1 (1957)


Kamera on Location (1958)

Both very good coloured versions of the originals, but my favourite is the top one as the colours look more realistic. It's probably easier to colour a person and the skin tones than an outdoor location, as the sand, rocks and grass in the second look slightly unnatural. I also note that by colouring the images Oldiznewagain loses some of the grain and texture from the original black and white versions, giving the coloured versions a smoother feel. Again, not a criticism, rather an observation, as I know I couldn't do anywhere as near a good a job as these and leave that to Old!  Restore yes I can do that, colour not on your life!

Cleo Simmons - One You Wouldn't Throw Back! (Original)

2 comments:

Let's start the day with another original scan, again from Kevin over on Pinupmemories.  This time we have Cleo Simmons posing in a cave sitting seductively on a lobster pot surrounded by fishing nets! That's one cave you wouldn't mind entering and if you caught Cleo you'd keep her for sure!

Thanks Kevin another great scan!

A Young Ann Austin (Original)

A great original shot of a young Ann Austin reclining nude on the bed, but those magnificent breast are unmistakeable! Thanks must go to Kevin from Pinupmemories for sending this through to me and allowing me to share it here.

Paula King The Redhead! (1965)

1 comment:



Three restored shots of Paula King wearing an auburn wig and purple high heels posing in front of a very dodgy old armchair. Restored from 35mm slides and dated 13th November 1965 and the middle shot almost shows us a bit more than normal of Ms King!

A Basking Lorraine Burnett

Yana by Harrison Marks

No comments:

The model only known as Yana taken by Harrison Marks and published in Foto No.9 in the late 1950's. A classic beauty and such a wonderful look, simply stunning :) 

Lydia Barton & The Leopard Skin Nipple Pasties!

No comments:

You learn something new every day, who knew these small round caps covering the nipple and areola were called nipple pasties! Here is Lydia Burton wearing a set of pasties and matching choker and leopard skin panties from Kamera Special No.1 (1957) by Harrison Marks.

Pasties emerged in burlesque and striptease from the 1920s as a way to avoid breaking the law by performing topless or nude and came to be regarded by some as more aesthetic and erotic than showing the actual nipples. Me I prefer to see a nice pair of nipples, but add some tassels and I can see the appeal!

That's a Big Telescope Your Holding Ms Parker!

No comments:

Jackie Parker posing for Russell Gay in blonde wig and posing seductively with a big telescope! The usual chequered background can be seen in this shot as well as Jackie's magnificent tits, which should never be overlooked!

Kamera Calendar, April 1969

No comments:

Time for another page from the 1969 Kamera Calendar, this time April but the model is unknown to me? Nice retro chair she's posing in though!

Sophia Dawn & The Dodgy Bedspreads!

1 comment:


Two restored shots of the glorious Sophia Dawn from the 1960's posing in both shots on a bed in a negligee and nude. Sophai looks fantastic, just not too sure about the bedspreads!

Ann Austin - A Lovely Pair of Plumped Pillows on The Sofa (Coloured)

No comments:


It's time I caught up on some of the great coloured shots from Oldiznewagain as they are stacking up and I know he has more coming! I'll start with the coloured plumped pillows of Ann Austin and again Oldiznewagain nails the colours for the background :)

Margaret The Tree Nymph!

5 comments:

Margaret Nolan posing in the forest leaning against a tree! I've not seen this shot before and it originally got posted over on a Tumblr blog dedicated to Margaret, which seems to reblog a lot of my Margaret Nolan stuff! I'd say looking at this pose and MN's age this may have been originally taken by Harrsion Marks as I've seen similar Tree shots by him before!

Virginia Green - Model No.14 Cover

No comments:

Virginia Green one of my favourite redheads appearing nude on the cover of Model No.14 by Russell Gay. Russell Gay's covers and shots for QT & Model are always very familiar, as they either feature a coloured chequered background or odd props and large jewellery. All of which appear on this cover, but take nothing away from the fine assets of Virginia Green :)

Pouting Pam (1968)

No comments:

Pam Arnold from Kamera No.88 (1968) in which she appears on both the cover and colour centre pages, along with various other shots throughout the magazine, but all from the same photo set! Her only appearance in Kamera and even re-prints and shots in other publications come from this set, so maybe she only did the one shoot?

Extra Salt in that Sea! (1962)

1 comment:

Jackie Salt cavorting or skinny dipping in the sea from the pages of Kamera No.41 (1962). Taken by Harrison Marks in one of his many expeditions down to the coastline of Cornwall no doubt! 

Julie The Mimic! (1957)

No comments:

The ever beautiful Julie posing for Harrison Marks from Kamera special No.1 (1957). Taken in his Gerard Street flat and notice that Julies pose mimics that of the small statue in the background? Some nice big earrings again, this time moons!
