It's time for another set of those odds and ends, leftovers, and uncategorized photos I call random beef. We start with a model whose attributes come through despite the garish lighting.
I was tempted to tone down the exposure, but didn't

Sprawl
I think the photographer was going for maximum sprawl here.
Too bad they cropped out part of his left leg.
Trio
Although Google Images search came up blank, the setting here reminds me
of one used by Rod Crowther. Anybody know for sure?
Mystery
I don't know what this guy is doing, but the picture looks like an outtake from one of Don Whitman's (Western Photography Guild) outdoor sessions. It probably isn't, though.
Unconventional
Ending the random beef series with a model in a pose that really manages
to show off some fine musculature in an unconventional way.

Amateur photo
An amateur photographer sent this in to a magazine,
which might account for the quality issues.
Beach campers
This photo came from magazine piece on Australian nudist beach campers. Only one
of the men has a beard, but I included both because they are equally impressive.
Does the guy ar right have one of those early 80s headphone portable radios?
Fine specimen
There's no money shot here, but we do get a fine looking man with a great beard.
Makes me thing of another Australian I know now residing in the Netherlands.

Wedding party
Here we have a male member of a wedding party. He seems to be the best man, and the groom
is a gorgeous blond. Unfortunately, there's no way to crop the bride's ginormous boobs out
of the photos of the handsome groom. I may toss the happy couple into a future mixed
gender series, and yes, I know some of you don't care for those at all.
Typically bizarre nudist game
Our last Australian bearded nudist is the lead man on a mixed team for some strange footrace. Nudists all over the world have a long history of organizing such activities, often in conjunction with one of their pageants. Bizarre nudist games might be a good theme for a series.

Pat Milo Day
One of the things that the great physique photograper Pat Milo was known for was his exceptional photos of men against a very dark background. I've even featured them in series showing the more artistic side of the genre. So today we will look at the reverse background in 12 photos, starting with Joe Diaz. He looks very impressive, and I'm sure the catalog number brought in lots of orders.
Larry Scott
A few weeks ago there was some discussion here on the blog as to whether Larry Scott ever did a full frontal nude photo, and the answer was "no, but there was a glimpse of package in a profile shot." That being what it is, Mr. Scott was a favorite model of Pat Milo, and there is a persistent story that the great photographer had a serious crush on the great bodybuilder.

Jim Nielson
This is one of those models whose name spelling has been all over the map through the years.
This one came to me as Jim Nielson, but I've also seen it as Nelsen, Neilson, Nelson, and Nielsen. Whatever the spelling, he looks quite good in every photo I've seen of him.
Mark Noble
We get an enticing look from Mark Nobel on his knees with his shorts pulled down.
The chest hair, happy trail, and bush are a nice bonus.
Chuck Baker
Mr. Milo used some unusual poses involving a concrete patio bench during his session
with Chuck Baker. I've posted others, but somehow skipped this one until now.
Johnny Nogar
Closing out our Pat Milo set with Johnny Nogar in a "man of steel" pose
that would look like Superman if he were looking dead straight at us.
