Hippie Day

It's hippie day on the blog, and we begin the show with the first of several photos 

from rock festivals. This one is a group at Leon's Lake at Woodstock.

 

Body Art

Body painting was a fad for a while among hippies.

 

Slide?

I think this image is from a slide.

 

School Buses

A certain subgroup of sometimes nomadic hippies had a fondness for living in old school buses.  In the case of these guys, however, I suspect that they simply found some cheap housing in a junkyard.  Of course, there's always a chance that somebody just saw a great photo opportunity.

 

Horseman

Some of you find naked men on horses to be attractive.  You know who you are, lol.

 

Isle of Wight

Jean Paul Margnac took this picture at the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970.

 

Art

I think this might have been some sort of performance art.

 

Headstand

One of these guys took a break from skinny dipping to do a headstand.

 

Reminds me

This model reminds me of Rob Reiner.

 

Bull Island

Closing with a photo of some hippies at the Bull Island festival of 1972.  An organizational disaster,

several of the headline acts refused to perform due to squalid conditions, the crowd rioted 

the last day, and three people tragically drowned in the Wabash River.  

At leas they didn't hire the Hells Angels for security.

 

Military Day

Narcyz Witczak-Witaczyński

These 1930-ish Polish cavalrymen are bathing their horses . . . and probably themselves.

The photo is by the talented Narcyz Witczak-Witaczyński.

 

Haircut

I don't know why this GI felt like he needed to keep his rifle handy while getting his hair cut as  

It doesn't look like they are in a combat area.  Maybe he was late for his turn at the rifle range.

 

Barracks Fun

Bored soldiers in the barracks will do almost anything to entertain themselves.

 

Delousing

When I first saw those boilers at left, I started looking for a mobile shower unit.

The actual cause for the mass nudity was apparently delousing, however.

 

WWI Germans

These World War I German troops are enjoying a dip in what looks like a canal sluice.

 

Candid

Something tells me that this photo of a soldier and his very fine derriere was candid.

 

Swedes

Our only color photo of the day is supposed to be two men

from a 1970s Swedish chemical decontamination unit.

 

Algeria?

I'm not sure, but I think this photo is from Algeria 

during the French colonial war there 1954-62.

 

New Guinea

My source didn't say, but our ending photo looks like it was made 

in New Guinea in the early part of the WWII Pacific Campaign.

The men appear to be doing  their washing.

 

Dave Martin at the Beach

Dave Martin is known for his use of bayside locations in the San Francisco area, but today we 

will look at some photos made at Pacific beaches.  We might as well start with Tony Farrell, 

seeing as how he appears no less than three times in today's series.

 

Unknown I

Dick Woodward

Dick Woodward goes a bit acrobatic in this one.

 

Chuck Miller I

Brian E. sent me this photo of the always pleasing Chuck Miller.

We'll see Mr. Miller again shortly.  

Thanks, Brian!

 

Tony Farrell II

Tony Farrell is basking in the sun on his back in his second appearance of the day.

 

Andy Kozak

Andy Kozak always looks good, and this seaside shot by Dave Martin is no exception.

 

Larry Crawford

Larry Crawford was a football player at Chico State College

when Dave Martin took this photo in 1962.

 

Unknown II

Here's our unknown model for a second look.  If anyone has any better quality

photos of this fellow or a name for him, please let me know.

 

Chuck Miller II

This is a repeat post of Chuck Miller with a beach ball.

 

Tony Farrell III

And we finish the set with a third shot of Tony Farrell.
