Mr. Scumbeast's Birthday Bash

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

Naked Swim 80


These men in a waterfall were number 80 in Ken's naked swim collection.

 

Card Sharps


As a small boy in Wolverhampton, Ken loved to go to the western movies.  As a result, he had a large collection of handsome vintage cowboy pictures.  He learned that I grew up on a ranch, and he was thrilled when I shared my own cowboy photos with him.  Later, I trusted him so much that I emailed the historic photos of my own family members to him so he could help me select the best for a book on them that I published in 2016.  We were that close.

 

Fur and Away

Naked Swim 117


This was number 117 in Ken's vast collection of naked swim photos.  He posted this 
at a time when Ipernity's French censors were being particulary strict with our group, 
so he added "Trying your hand at Ipernity style censorship."

 

Pumps


I'm not sure why, but Ken called this one "male nude with pumps."
They look like sneakers or gym shoes to me.

 

Shooter


"Death to all sea gulls!"

 

William Smith


Ken had an interesting collection of very early mug shots.  This fellow is William Smith, a thief caught in Newcastle in 1873.  Mr. Scumbeast added to that description William asking,
"Can I get one for me mum?  She'd love a photograph of me."

 

Cockles


"Cockles and muscles, alive, alive, O"
was Mr.S's witty caption for this one.



 

Bringing up the rear


Naturally, I am ending Mr. Scumbeast's Birthday Bash 
with a photo he called "bringing up the rear."

Boating Day


Today we look at some men in, on, and around boats.
We start with a guy in a sailor cap who looks vaguely familiar.

 

Tony, Lee, and Joe

Buddies


I think these are army buddies from either WWII or Korea.

 

Fishing


I think this white haired hefty fellow is fishing.



 

Amateur Group


Not the greatest quality, but some of us enjoy amateur group shots.

 

John Corvello

Trim


For those of you who like men on the trim side.

 

July 1962


Bait buckets and two bubbas make this one from 1962 sort of classic.

Dad


Closing the boating series with a photo I found labeled "vintage dad."

Kris Studio Day


We're over due for a full series by Chuck Renslow of Kris Studio, 
so let's get started with Steve Kotis.

 

Johnny Savage

I think that's a leather belt Johnny Savage is holding over his head.
I suppose it would go with the boots and cap.



 

Jerry Roquemore


A Kris Studio photo of Jerry Roquemore made page two of some magazine.

 

Ralph Kliener


Chuck Renslow put some effort into the lighting on this shot of Ralph Kleiner.

 

Bill Seno


Bill Seno shows off his well developed pectorals in this one.

 

Ron Rector


Our only color picture of the day is Ron Rector.

 

David Selhime


I somehow haven't posted this Kris photo of David Selhime with his arms crossed until now.



 

Kip Behar

Chuck Renslow is known to have made at least one working trip to Los Angeles,
and that's probably where he took this exceptionally lighted shot of Kip Behar.
The picture appeared in January of 1959 in Gym Magazine.

 

Bob Kolinski


The g-string strap is a bit distracting, but Bob Kolinski still looks good.

 

Johnny Menendez


Our Kris Studio set ends with Johnny Menendez.
