Professor Edmond Desbonnet was a pioneer of French physical culture who practiced what he preached, as can be seen in the picture of him above. Today we look at more of his handiwork.

Album
Someone's album was the source for this, and it looks
like it was scanned or photographed in situ.
The musculature is excellent.

David Kelp
This one was labeled as David Kelp. I keep thinking I've heard that name somewhere,
but nothing useful came up on Google . . . as is usual these days.
Hired a rower?
Did these two skinny dippers hire a man to row them around,
or did they just pose for a picture with him?
Rectangle
Our final boat is a rectangular one that must have had some special use.
Whatever that might have been, I can't guess.

Name that Model Day V - Butts by Bruce
I've made this particular episode of Name that Model Day particularly difficult by also making it a
Day of the Derriere. As a small help, the photos are all supposed to be by Bruce of LA,
and several of them show at least part of the model's face. We start with a guy
standing on a plywood squre in the desert. Maybe the sand was hot.
Fish net
Several of the classic era physique photographers went through a phase of usine fish net props
in the 1950s, and Bruce was no exception. I have to say that he did it quite well.
Corrugated Backdrop
You knew we weren't going to get through a Bruce set without the corrugated backdrop,
and here it is. Also, we get a profile view of the model's face to help you naming sleuths.
Desert Dudes, Derrieres
Bruce went all the way to saguaro country to photograph these two.
And no, saguaros do not grow near Los Angeles.
Ball and Net
We've already seen the ball prop and a fishnet in two
separate photos today, but this one has them both.
Outlier
This last one looks like either an outlier or something from early
in Bruce's career . . . assuming that it is actually his.
