Physique Football

Today's theme is physique models and football.  We start with a twink.

 

Bulldog Center

For those of you who don't know, this guy is in the center position, i.e. the guy who snaps the ball 

to the quarterback to begin a play.  This one is also in what we call the bulldog position.

 

Pair I

I got this during the sack of tumblr with no info, but I think we can safely say 

that they are by AMG.  I'm sure someone out there knows who they are.

 

DSI Shoulder Pads

This one is from Rugged, a small format 1967 magazine put out by DSI,

a pioneering gay publishing and merchandising company.

I have no name, alas, for the handsome model.

 

Three Point Stance

This is called the three point stance.

 

Terry Hays

Our only color photo of the day features Terry Hays who looks like a bronze statue.

The photo is by Bob Mizer of AMG from 1973.

 

Wesley Schmaltz

Here we have Weslen Schmaltz by Bruce of LA.

 

Pair II

I think these guys are the same two AMG models previously posted today.

 

Shoulder Pads II

Here's a second model in shoulder pads.

 

Stop Action

Our closing photo has some pretty good stop action in what I think is an AMG picture.

 

Swim Time

Today we go swimming.  I get a Scandinavian vibe from our first photo.

 

Bunches of Buns

Bunches of buns in this one.

 

Still wet

The guy on the left still looks wet.

 

Netted?

I think that's some sort of fish net those two are fooling around with.

 

Angle

The man on the diving board is positioned to have his backside turned directly

 at the camera rather than for diving.  Glad he got is priorities right.

 

Sunken boat

These happy fellow seem to be standing on a mostly sunken boat.

 

Fun pair

These two look like they could be a lot of fun.

 

Students?

This crowd looks like some sort of college sports group.

 

Twin Moons

I recall reading a scifi novel years ago called The Twin Moons.

 

Unknown with Contrast

 

I really like the contrasting segment blocks in this shot of an unknown, to me anyway.

 

Unusual

Closing with what has to be the most unusual picture of the day.

 

Karlheinz Weinberger II

Karlheinz Weinberger (1921-2006) was a Swiss warehouse worker who photographed gay men, bikers, and hooligans in his spare time in Zurich.  One doesn't think of staid Zurich as much of a place for hooligans, but Mr. Weinberger did several shows on that theme in that city.  Having been there twice, I can tell you that they do have a very active and diverse gay scene.  Anyway, today we will look at ten more images by this quirky and interesting photographer, beginning with this guy who gives me a Rod Stewart vibe.  Must be the hairdo.

Portrait

Although quite good as a portrait photographer, Mr. Weinberger didn't do 

too many of them.  This is one of my favorites by him of the type.

 

Wallpaper

I can't decide if the floral wallpaper is a distraction 

or a good counterpoint to the model.

 

Smile

One doesn't see many smiling Weinberger models,

and that makes this one even more special.

 

Levis

This fellow is popping out of his Levis in a way that will like please many of you.

 

Bison

Color work by this photographer is rare, so I checked to see if this had been colorized later.  

I was pleased to find that it had not, and that the model's name is Oliver Sieber.

 

More than once

Poofy Hair

When he wasn't photographing hooligans, bikers, or gays, Karlheinz Weinberger would go to wrestling matches and bodybuilding competitions.  This is an example of the latter, and I can't help but wonder if the central figure was chosen for that poofy hair.  It does make him stand out.

 

Tan line

This handsome model has a start on a ditchdigger tan.

 

Tough look

We complete the series with a fellow who seems to be trying to look tough.
