Classic Nudes By Denny Denfield

I was looking through an old art book this morning and enjoying some of the classic nudes I used to study so much when I was a struggling art student in college, and discovered the male nude photography of Denny Denfield. I'm quite sure that while we've had a few posts focusing on the black and white hunks from the Athletic Model Guild and photographer Bob Mizer we've never seen the work of Denny Denfield, and we probably should have long ago. He was very much in "the scene" at the time, when erotic appreciation of the male form was being somewhat passed off as being something else. I can appreciate it, these guys were generally considered to be the forerunners of gay porn when even just being gay was a crime. While some might have been a little more out there and brave in their work, it seems as though Denny Denfield was more secretive in his hobby. It's understandable considering he worked for the US Army as an accountant at the time. Check out some of the photos he took of mostly unknown young men in California in the 1950's and perhaps take a moment to ponder what he might think of the world we live in now.
