Bob Smith
We get a classic reclining male in this photo of Bob Smith.
More fine Chicago beef(cake) from Renslow. :) Looks like Smith is daring Renslow to take more than a picture.:/ Daring full nude for the time, and much respect for Renslow and his fights against censorship of adult material. Interesting fact Renslow named his Kris studio in part to honor Christine Jorgensen. Another great presentation of a physique photographers work….:)
I like the fact that, back then, if a male was hairy, it was okay. Too may shaven men being pictured today, IMHO. Big Dude
ReplyDeleteI'm of Big Dude's opinion, as I often am. But this model is my favorite of the day.
ReplyDeleteGood choice!

Thanks for the info. I always wondered where the Kris name came from. What were the other components?
DeleteI always thought the studio was named after a type of Javanese dagger (with a distinctive wavy blade) called a "kris."
DeleteI could've sworn I read that somewhere years ago in an article on Renslow and Dom Orejudos.

I seem to recall the knife story as well.
