Boating Day

Today's theme is men in and around boats.

We start with a color photo from a nudist magazine.

 

Amateur?

This one looks like an amateur snapshot.

 

Dave Martin?

This is a repeat post from six years ago.  Back then I thought it might 

have been by Dave Martin, but I never came across any proof.

 

Bulges

I almost put this one into a bulges themed set a while back, but saved it for now.

 

Skipper

Several of you would probably gladly join this skipper for a cruise.

 

Blond

Here we have a lanky blond.

 

Group

This looks like a fun loving group, and I wish I had been along for the ride.

 

Coca Cola

This seafarer has just finished a bottle of Coca Cola.

He may be the best looking man of the series.

 

Charlie Ram

Rob G. of Houston sent me this and says it's Charlie Ram by Bruce of LA.

 

The end

For some of you, I've saved the best for the end.

 

Leslie Lohman Museum

Today I am featuring ten works of art from the Leslie-Lohman Museum dating between 1974 and 1984.  We start with perhaps the most interesting piece in the series, Marion Pinto's 1974 painting of the museum's founders and benefactors, Charles Leslie and Fritz Lohman.

 

Sandra DeSando

Sandra DeSando drew this beautiful portrait of James Saslow in 1980.

 

Robert Gable

I can't imagine why Robert Gable didn't give this lovely oil painting from 1978 a title.

 

William Bjorkman

My Dutch Lover was done by William Bjorkman in 1980.

 

Michael Kelly

This untitled drawing by Michael Kelly is from 1978.

 

Gregory Hull

Contrapposto was painted by Gregory Hull in 1984.

 

Leo Hansberry

Here we have an untitled work from 1978 by Leo Hansberry.

 

Richard Rosenfeld

John Lear

The Builders was painted by John Lear in 1978.

 

Gilbert Lewis

Our final Leslie-Lohman work is Resting by Gilbert Lewis from 1982.

Bob Edna

I have about half a dozen photos of Bob Edna, none with photographer attribution.

 

Bob Kappel

Bob Kappel, who reminds me of Von Gloeden's model Il Serpente, was known to have posed

 for AMG, Bruce of LA, Falcon, and Pat Milo. This doesn't really look like any of those 

men's work, imho, so it might be by someone entirely different.

 

Hillgardner Brothers

Brothers Frank and Bill Hillgardner were known to have separately posed for Lon of New York and Lou Melan, aka Louis Melancon, but I'm not sure who took this duo shot.  I am sure that I like it a lot.

 

Gary Brandenburg

Gary Brandenburg is one of several models in today's set with Ed "Kookie" Byrnes hair.

 

Gary or Edward?

Joe Dimassa

I've admired this photo of Joe Dimassa a long time, and only recently found his name.

I still don't know who the photographer was, however.

 

Joe Hill

Joe Leitel

Joe Leitel at various times posed for AMG, Apollo, Bruce of LA, Pat Milo, and R.A. Enterprises, 

but I don't know which, if any, of them took this impressive photo.  If I had to guess, 

I would go with Pat Milo, but that's just a hunch.  Anyone know for sure?

 

Lucky Moore

Lucky Moore looks like he posed in a quarry for an unknown (to me) photographer.

 

Tore Lind

Tore Lind posed for Champion and at least one Swedish photographer of male nudes.  

This doesn't look Champion's style, so it must be the other guy whose name eludes me.

 

Yves Grangeat

When I saw that our final unattributed photo was Frenchman Yves Grangeat, I immediately thought of Jean Ferraro.  He does not, however, show up in any of the online Ferrero archives.
