Three photographs of Orest Daszo, by Les Demi-Dieux, circa early 1960s

The man who photographed under the name Les Demi-Dieux (the demi-gods) has long been considered one of the most artistic and certainly the most mysterious of the classic physique photographers.  Only recently identified as Danny Fitzgerald, he lived and worked in Brooklyn - where his images were taken in the early 1960s - and apparently died in 2000, but there is still very little known about his life.
