Assorted Nudist Day

Modern Dance

This might have been what passed for modern dance in the 60s.

 

Privacy, please.

Apparently the nudist camp needed more privacy.

Maybe they had a peeping Tom problem.

 

Hosing

Artist

This guy seems to be just starting on a piece of art.

 

Bush and 'Stache

A certain other blogger I know will probably like the up and down elements of this one.

 

Looking

This guy is looking at some magazines, but I don't 

think he'll see much through those sunglasses.

Maybe he's trying to go incognito.

 

Not basketball

Beach

Closing the series with a nice looking young man on a beach.

 

Deep in thought

We close with a contemplative looking guy on a picnic set bench.

 

Mystery Men Day

Is Mystery Man day, and we will be looking at ten unidentified classic era physique models.

We start with a man with a mysterious expression and two knotted ropes behind him.

 

Screen

The bamboo screen might be a clue, but several physique photographers used them.

 

Column

The pose and the column make me think of Lon,

but I have nothing but that hunch.

 

Smile

 

Damage

The damage makes me think this one might be a Polaroid,

but the professional lighting makes me think not.

 

Tan Lines

The tan lines draw our eyes where they would have gone anyway.

 

Lon?

  That column and my source both say this unknown might be by Lon of New York.

 

AMG?

My source says this duo is probably by AMG.

 

Grapes

Our only color item of the day has a guy eating grapes under a trellis.

Is that Mount Mizer in the background?

 

Possible Pat Milo

Roy Blakey Day

Today is Roy Blakey day, and we start with a beautifully lighted photo of Richard Christopher.

 

'Fro

The Afro hairstyle was still going strong when Roy Blakey shot this one in 1973.

 

Art

This one is art, pure and simple.

 

Cover

While not in the same league as Mr. Blakey's work for Honcho, Mandate, and 

After Dark, this cover for a New York gay magazine does have its charm.

 

Perspective

The perspective on this image is a bit odd, but I like it.

 

Fire Island Pines

If you click on the Roy Blakey label at right and scroll back a bit, you'll see a frontal nude 

of this model that I posted last year.  Only recently did I learn that it was part of a major 

piece in Honcho in 1980.  Today I am posting the rest of the group of photos.

 

Technique

I have no idea what technique Roy Blakey used to make this, but I like it.

 

Mystery

The ombre lighting gives this one an air of mystery.

 

Color

Roy Blakey's color work in Honcho is considered some of the best

for both the artist and the magazine.

 

Leonardo

Closing the set with a repeat post from seven years ago

that harkens to Leonardo DaVinci.
