Andrew Kozak Day

Andrew Kozak posed for AMG, Denny Denfield, Kovert of Hollywood, and likely others.  His work never fails to impress, and he gets a lot of positive comments whenever he appears here.  Today I'm featuring eleven photos that I don't think I've posted before.  We start with an unattributed picture.

 

Posing strap

I don't have a photographer attribution for this very good posing strap photo of Mr. Kozak.

 

Denfield

Although my source didn't say so, I'm fairly certain that this photo of Andy Kozak was 

from a memorable photo shoot by Denny Denfield in a mountainous area.

 

Backside by AMG

Bob Mizer of AMG took this derriere photo of Andy Kozak,

and it's one of only about half a dozen rear views in my collection.

 

Creekside

I really like the creekside setting for this Denny Denfield photo of Andy Kozak.

 

With Alan Thomas

Alan Thomas is giving Andrew Kozak a knee to the behind in this AMG photo.

 

Familiar Backdrop

The rock mountainside in the background appears in a number 

of Denny Denfield's photos of Andrew Kozak.

 

Artist at work

As I've mentioned in other postings, Andrew Kozak is recognized as a very good water color artist whose work still shows up from time to time in gallery auctions.  Here he is shown with Dick Dubois.

 

AMG?

One source for this photo says it is by AMG, but several others say Kovert of Hollywood.

I'm inclined to go with the latter because I've never seen any frontals of Mr. Kozak 

by AMG, and I can't imagine Bob Mizer only having taken one.

 

Unattributed

Although my source had no photographer attribution,

the projected backdrop makes me think AMG.

 

Another by Denfield

Our final shot of Andy Kozak is another one outdoors by Denny Denfield.

 

Nudist Refreshment Day

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

1970

The haircut on this guy says 1970.

 

Joe Cool

Joe Cool is reaching for a Canada Dry beverage.

 

Large

This guy has a large automobile and a large bottle of Coke.

 

Snack Bar

 

Here we have a guy hanging out at the nudist camp snack bar.

 

Classic chair

The chair this guy is sitting in is a classic mid-century furniture item.

 

Bubbly

I think this guy is serving bubbly stuff to a female.

 

Middle aged

Soda guzzler

Here we have a guy chugging down a soda next to the machine he bought it from.

 

Lanky

Our last nudist refreshment photo shows a guy whose lankiness

would be more obvious if they hadn't cropped off his legs.

 

Military Men Day

Today is Military Men Day on the blog and we start with one of a group of photos made at the same time from multiple angles by a lucky photographer.  I've already posted several of these, some of which were given to me by Dee Exx, and others which I found on my own.  The guy near front right seems to know exactly what's going on and seems to be enjoying it.

 

Barracks Hijinks I

One of these four French soldiers was apparently shy.  We'll see some more barracks hijinks later today.

 

Small unit

That may be the smallest portable military shower unit that I've seen.

 

Guadalcanal

This is from one of the Ralph Morse photos made for LIFE on Guadalcanal.

Those are U.S. Marines enjoying a wash up in a river.  I'm sure they swam, too.

 

Swimmers

Although I'm not certain, I think these men using the deck of a ruined boat as a swimming

 platform are World War II Germans.  An enterprising photographer took several

 different views of them, and I have posted the others in the past.

 

Dumptruck Driver

He could drive my dumptruck any day.

 

Barracks Hijinks II

Our second boisterous barracks group members have cleverly 

covered their crotches . . . to varying degrees of success.

 

Repeat

I came across a cleaner copy of this photo of three men carrying their boots,

 so I'm repeating it.  They seem to be taking their dogs along for a swim.

 

Delousing

These German troops are waiting their turns at a portable delousing station.

 

Verdun

These French soldiers enjoying a swim had been rotated out of the front lines at Verdun, 

a vicious 1916 battle of attrition that many consider the worst episode of a truly awful war.
