Nudist Refreshments

Today we view some nudist men getting various sorts of refreshment.

Here we see a guy chatting up the server at the camp snack bar.

 

Hitting the bottle

I'd love to know what kind of bottle that was.

 

Big bite

I hope that chicken leg quarter he's about to bite into is done.

 

Another bottle

Here's another one where I can't make out what sort of bottle that is.

 

Faucet drinker

This guy is getting a dring from an outdoor faucet.

 

Has to be French

With all those baguettes, this guy has to be French.

 

Bear prepping for Barbie

In my absolute favorite photo of the day we see a nice 

Aussie bear getting some meat ready for the barbie.

 

Paper cup

This guy looks like he's drinking from one of those little paper cups.

 

Watermelon

Mmmmm . . . watermelon!

 

Water boy

Our last male was sent to refill the water cooler.

He looks familiar.

 

Early 20th Century

Today we visit the early 20th Century again, starting with this interesting middle aged model.

 

Nude on the rocks

I sort of like the way this one was staged.

 

1920s I

This is from a group of photos I recently came across labeled only "1920s."

All the men are in the same pose, and there was no information provided.

 

Phys Ed

Marcel Mourgues from Nimes appeared in a French physical education publication.

 

Balancing

Something tells me that this balancing act was not as easy as it looks.

 

1900

This guy from 1900 had at least one thing going for him.

 

Hairy back

This one shows a male with a hairy back, something that did not 

always show up in early 20th photography due to technical issues.

1905

This headstand is by an unknown photographer from 1905.

 

Orville Stamm

This is Orville Stamm.  I love the caption bit:

"Power is in the loins that strive . . ."

 

1920s II

Ending the series with a second photo from that group of photos from the 1920s.

 

Norman Tousley Day

Bay Area firefighter Norm Tousley was much in demand as a male nude model for obvious reasons.  Today I am posting ten of his photos, starting with the first of four by Dave Martin.

 

Denny Denfield I

Denny Denfield did a memorable color photo shoot with Norm Tousley at a California beach.

 

Unknown Photographer

I couldn't find a photographer attribution for this one,

but that huge metal cogwheel might be a clue.

 

Dave Martin II

Our second Dave Martin photo of the set is a very good reclining male nude.

 

Denny Denfield II

Denny Denfield was an early and effective user of color film for physique work.

 

Russ Warner

This impressive photo is by Russ Warner.  Some of Mr. Warner's models joked 

about the strenuous hikes involved in getting to some of his favorite outdoor locations

 

Delmonteque Cover

Bob Delmonteque, a bodybuilder and model himself, took this magazine cover shot.

 

Dave Martin III

It looks like there's some writing on the bamboo staff Dave Martin used in this picture.

 

 

AMG

My usually reliable source says that this is by AMG,

but I'm not entirely convinced that it is.

 

Dave Martin IV

Closing the Norman Tousley set with a classic pose by Dave Martin.
