Mr. Scumbeast's Birthday Bash

Naked Swim 80


These men in a waterfall were number 80 in Ken's naked swim collection.

 

Card Sharps


As a small boy in Wolverhampton, Ken loved to go to the western movies.  As a result, he had a large collection of handsome vintage cowboy pictures.  He learned that I grew up on a ranch, and he was thrilled when I shared my own cowboy photos with him.  Later, I trusted him so much that I emailed the historic photos of my own family members to him so he could help me select the best for a book on them that I published in 2016.  We were that close.

 

Fur and Away

Naked Swim 117


This was number 117 in Ken's vast collection of naked swim photos.  He posted this 
at a time when Ipernity's French censors were being particulary strict with our group, 
so he added "Trying your hand at Ipernity style censorship."

 

Pumps


I'm not sure why, but Ken called this one "male nude with pumps."
They look like sneakers or gym shoes to me.

 

Shooter


"Death to all sea gulls!"

 

William Smith


Ken had an interesting collection of very early mug shots.  This fellow is William Smith, a thief caught in Newcastle in 1873.  Mr. Scumbeast added to that description William asking,
"Can I get one for me mum?  She'd love a photograph of me."

 

Cockles


"Cockles and muscles, alive, alive, O"
was Mr.S's witty caption for this one.



 

Bringing up the rear


Naturally, I am ending Mr. Scumbeast's Birthday Bash 
with a photo he called "bringing up the rear."

We start with a guy in a sailor cap who looks vaguely familiar.
