Fig Leaf Day

I know fig leaf photos always leave us wishing for more, but they can be fun, so here 

we go with ten.  First up is Bohemian strong man and wrestler K. Pospeschil.

 

Lunge

I'm left wondering if a knife or sword was off to the left in this lunging photo.

 

Desbonnet

A very reputable European website attributes this to Prof. Edmond Desbonnet.  

The composition and staging make me think of Von Gloeden, although it is a bit tidier.

 

French Bush

We get a bit of a look at the model's bush

in this French physical culture photo.

 

Interesting

I think this is the most interesting photo of the series.  We have mirrors giving us 

some derriere views, and I find the interplay of the models to be fascinating.

 

Constantine Stelanov

This handsome discus holder is Constantine Stelanov.

 

Modest wader

OK, it's really a lily pad, not a fig leaf, but I had to include this.

 

Slippage

Is it just me, or was there a bit of slippage of the fig leaf in this photo?

 

Rope pull

Pulling on a rope really shows off this model's upper body muscles.

 

Eugen Sandow

I can think of no better way to conclude a fig leaf series than

the immortal Eugen Sandow as photographed by Warwick Brookes.

 

Amateur Day

I recently stumbled into my amateur files, so here we go.  

My source says this first one is from a Polaroid session.

 

Cycle streaker

I recently came into some "new" streaker photos, 

and I especially liked this cowboy on a bicycle.

 

Sunbather

Looks like this guy was sunbathing in the brush.

 

Pleasant

I like the pleasant expression here.

 

Pleased

I suppose this fellow does have something to smile about.

 

Not the type

Wash day

This guy decided to wash all his clothes, including those he was wearing.

 

Military

I'm not sure, but Mr. Moose Toe looks military.

 

Interesting scene

This interesting little scene looks like the 1980s.

 

Blond

Our final amateur of the set is a blond with his arms crossed.

 

Kris Studio Day

Chuck Renslow of Kris Studio was a good photographer, but perhaps more importantly, 

he was an advocate for freedom of expression and Gay Rights.  Today, I am 

posting ten of his photos, starting with Johnny Savage.

 

Unknown I

This is the first of two unknown (to me anyway) models in today's series.

 

Rocky Lanz

Rocky Lanz gives us a full recline and a sultry look to boot.

 

Alvin Law

Here we see Alvin Law.

 

Doug Mann

Don Dunn

Here we have Don Dunn in the shower.

Unknown II

Our second unknown Kris model posed on a long cushioned bench.

 

Eugene Cook

Chuck Renslow of Kris posed Eugene Cook with two columns.

 

Tom Cowans

Ending the series with the always impressive Tom Cowans.
