Bodybuilding Photos | Draper Flickrs On

You don’t have to be middle-aged to know that Golden Era bodybuilding photos — the classic photos of bodybuilders from the mid-’60s to the early ’70s — jerk a smile from even the most jaded of bodybuilders. So, hey, lookie here: Golden Era Biceps.

That’s right! Our entire Draper photo archive is uploaded into a new IronOnline Dave Draper flickr photo display. Look, you don’t even have to sign up. Just click on over, then tap on the link at the top right to View a Slideshow. Speed ‘em up or slow ‘em down using the arrow that appears at the top of the slide window as you run your cursor over it.

What’s a flickr?

Sure, you’re old enough to remember Flicka, but this is different. There have to be a hundred thousand photos of beautiful black stallions on flickr (Flicka, of course, was a mare, but, eh, “beautiful black mares” just didn’t do it for me). But kids today, they don’t go to horsey PG matinees, not when they can be out cruising the malls with their camera phones looking for whatever’s most ridiculous to one-up their mates’ flickr photo sharing accounts.

The bottom line is this: It doesn’t matter how old you are or how comfortable you are with new technology. Clicking through photos is universal, and flickr makes it easy for people without websites or computer skills to share their photos.

Here, have a look at the set of 332 photos of Dave I uploaded this morning. He’s gonna shoot me for spending the morning on this, but hey, I’ll just tell him I did it for you.

    It took over 30 years for me to see all these photo’s at different times, in different magazines etc….now they can be seen all in one place within 20 minutes!!

    No kidding, Guy. ha!

    Say, when I finish the site upgrade (you’ll know when I’m done; all the parts will match– site, store, forum, blog), I’m planning to re-work a photo section here. rather than on flickr. that will have thumbnails, larger photos and a slideshow. When I do that, I’ll sharpen up the images, bring out the blacks and whites and make them pop off the screen. Not long after the first of the year, hopefully.
