Odds and Ends Again


Today is Odds and Ends day, that time when I post leftovers and hard to categorize items.
We start with a blond who is holding a short staff and has an all over tan.

 

Page 161


All I have on this one is that it was on page 160 of a gallery catalog.

 

Unknown


This one has been all over the internet, but nobody seems to know who they are.

 

Snow Leftover


These hefty skiers were left over from my last snow themed series.

 

Hairy GIF


And here we see a hairy guy in a poolside GIF.

 

Model No. 9


Model No. 9 has a slingshot.

 

1948?

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

Thigh deep


These two handsome swimmers are up to their thighs in murky water.

 

Mystery


I found this online in a small collection of photos labeled as anatomical,
but they looked more artistic than those usually do.

 

Furry


I know several of you who will probablyn like this one.

 

Amateur?


This one has an amateur feel to it, but I'm not sure.

 

Selfie


I saved my favorite of the day for last.  This is the 1889 
self portrait of Frans Gustaf Klemming, 1859-1922.

Beach Day


We have spent the day at the beach for a while, so why not today?  We start with a guy 
applying suntan lotion, a wise precaution.  I wonder what SPF they had back then.

 

Reach


Looks like he's reaching for something.

 

Out of focus


This guy is a bit out of focus, but the bulge is still visible.

 

1978


This 1978 photo is part of the Fire Island Pines Historical Collection.

 

Crowd


A crowd seems to have gathered.

 

Satyr


Albert might like this guy for his satyr collection.

 

Happy Trio

Here we have a happy trio beside a ruined pier.

 

Built


One word:  Built.

 

Catcher


We can't see what this man is trying to catch.



 

FKK?


Although my notes don't say so, I think our final photo is FKK.

Denny Denfield Day, Part 1 - From My Collection


Posting a two part set of Denny Denfield photos today, with part one from my own collection 
and part two from that of Bryan B.  We start with Andy Kozak in a wooded area.

 

Unknown I


I don't know which one, but I think the rock formation behind this handsome unknown model is 
at one of the San Francisco area beaches frequented by Denny Denfield.  He was known 
to use beer and flattery to get good looking men to pose nude for him.

 

Unknown II


Like Dave Martin, Denny Denfield didn't do an extensive number of derriere photos.
This one made among the joshua trees is quite good.

 

Unknown III


Our third unknown model is flexing in a rock field near some desert palms.

 

Bob Mucci?


I think the last model in part one may be Bob Mucci.
The posing strap is rare for Denny Denfield.

 

Denny Denfield Day, Part 2 - Unknown Models from Bryan B


Part two of our Denny Denfield series was provided by Bryan B, and the models are unknown, 
at least to us.  We start with a fellow on an army blanket that appears often in Mr. D's work.

 

Slide


Mr. Denfield was known for his early and competent use of color images, a significant portion 
of which was comprised of slides.  This is a good example from a great California location.

 

Private Scrapbook


After Bryan sent me this picture, I researched it, and I think it is from a group 
of photos sold in an estate sale as being from a private scrapbook.

 

Comin' at Ya


Mr. Denfield experimented with 3-D photography, and this photo is supposedly an example 
from a book called Comin' at Ya which was published decades after being shot.
The model is unknown, but looks familiar to me.

 

Bayside


The location here makes me think of Dave Martin, but he and Denny Denfield were both 
from the Bay Area, so overlap of shooting spots might be expected.
Many thanks to Bryan B for the photos in Part Two.
