Back to the Beach

Back to the beach today, starting with a fellow and his towel in the dune grass.

 

1954?

My source said this one was from 1954, and if that's true,

I think it was professionally done.

 

Dad

This guy had to be somebody's dad.

 

Charming

I found this charming photo in a late 1960s magazine piece extolling the advantages of being a homosexual.  In fact, the article seemed obsessed with Oedipal urges among hetero men.

Needless to say, it was one of those porn booklets with an article or two thrown in.

 

Joggers

Here we see some early day beach joggers.

 

Hmmmm . . .

Hmmmm . . . this is somebody I'd like to know.

 

In the Dunes I

All kinds of fun things can happen in the dunes behind the beach,

and this fellow might be waiting for some.

 

Spoilt for Choices

Nice buns here.

 

Group

The man at the center of this group is in a really good spot and seems to know it.

 

Discobolus?

The pose is a bit awkward, but I think he was going for a discobolus using a rock.

 

In the Dunes II

Here's a second guy in the dunes with a different point of view.

 

Color Snap

And finally, our only color item has a man with a bulge.

 

Levis Day

Had a request for a men in Levis set, so here we go.

 

Peeping Toms?

Are these two peeping toms or innocent workmen?

 

Proud

He looks like a proud car owner, but is that a dent in the fender?

 

San Francisco

The 70s in San Francisco.

 

Archival

 These late 19th Century loggers appear on an official Levis archival web page.

Don't forget.  Levis were invented as durable, affordable work clothes for men.

Sturdy

This sturdy looking fellow caught my eye on a Pinterest page,

but for some reason my internal AI alarm went off.

 

Phone Booth

Remember phone booths?

 

Log Splitter

This beefy firewood splitter will no doubt make someone's day.

 

Miners

The timber shoring makes me think these men are miners,

but those flat tipped shovels seem odd.

 

1950 Ford

The palms and quonset huts in our final picture make 

me think of Hawaii, and I believe that's a 1949 Ford.

 

Dave Martin Quarterly - In the Studio

The last quarterly Dave Martin series was all beach scenes, so this time

 I am going with studio work.  Our first photo is one of Jim Warren.

 

Ken Dockter

I think this photo of Ken Dockter is from early in Mr. Martin's career. 

 

Carl Wadlow

Carl Wadlow looks like one of those guys whose friends might call him "Moose."

 

Bill Elliott

I really like the lighting in this picture of Bill Elliott.

Chuck Miller

Chuck Miller is one of my favorite Dave Martin models, 

and he looks good with a bamboo screen and a chain.

 

Charlie Wall

Despite the blank stare, I like this picture of Charlie Wall.

Closing the set with Walt Davis and a classic flex pose.
