Skinny Dippers Day

Time for another nude swimming set, and our first photo has some guys in ankle deep water.

I hope there was a deep end, or it would have been all skinny and no dipping.

On edge

Sitting on the edge dangling one's feet into the water can be relaxing.

Buddies

These two buddies don't seem to mind having their picture taken naked.

Discussion

The two men at left seem to be having a serious discussion.

Wet

This guy is wet, and I think he's about to jump back into the pool.

Climbing out

I'm pretty sure this shot of two guys climbing out of a pool was staged for the camera.

East Germans

East Germany was tolerant in at least one way, nude swimming.

This snapshot is from 1978, and it looks like they are having fun.

No clue

I have no idea what the objective was here, but I like the picture.

Quarry

Our last picture is supposed to be a young man headed for another jump into a quarry swimming hole. There are a lot of photos of this type, including four from same session as this.

Walter Kundzicz of Champion Studio was known for his early and frequent use of color, but today I will be posting ten of my favorite Champion black and whites. We start with Ken French, his jockstrap, and the inevitable Champion props. At least they fit the model's image.
