This review is from: California Dreamtime (Paperback)

Subtitled "The Secret Nudes of Denny Denfield" this is another book of male nudes brought to us by David Chapman ("Hollywood Nudes", "Adonis", & "Mountain Men") who has been an inspiration in giving us a history of gay male nude photographers. This photographer was not known at all compared to most of the rest. I thought this book was an excellent display of his male nudes. There are about 63 pages of nudes here, not a big book, but a good representation of his work. These are photos of men from that era in clear black & white set in outdoor surroundings. It's surprising how muscular these men were for that time period.

Denny loved photos of nude men, which were hard to purchase in the repressive 50's. So he spend many hours taking his own on the beach of the many attractive men he met. These are very posed pictures but the men are none the less erotic. I enjoyed learning about this photographer and seeing his photos for the first time in this book.
