I’m an accidental gay historian, sharing vintage photos I took from the 1970s onward.

In 1977, when I was 25, I had an affair on St. Martin in the Caribbean with a Canadian backpacker I had met there. We spent our last day together on an isolated beach where he took several photos of me nude. This is one.

Here are the first group of 4 nude male erotic photos from my collection from Provocateur Magazine (LA 1995-96). I posted non-nude erotic shots from that publication on my Instagram today to avoid censorship. More will follow here soon. Enjoy!

Me in 1977 at 25 y.o. on then-isolated Cupecoy Beach on St. Maarten in the Caribbean. A bisexual Canadian backpacker and I ended up having a torrid affair that week. He took this nude shot of me, but he wouldn’t let me photograph him naked.

Here are a few photos taken by my friend, Brazilian photographer Carlos Gama Junior, and given to me by him in the 1990s. I’ll share more of his work going forward.

A couple of February’s ago at a guest house in Fort Lauderdale, I attempted to mimic the erotic art on the wall behind me.

From 1987-1998, Noite dos Leopardos (Night of the Leopards) was a legendary male strip show in Rio de Janeiro’s Galleria Alaska, attended by the likes of Madonna & Liza Minelli Years later, I ran across this post card of a guy who’d been one of the Leopardos models I’d seen that night..

Here’s a mirrored selfie taken in my Manhattan apartment around 1977, when I was 25 y.o. and somewhat ginger-ish. Oh, yeah, and I was just beginning to come out.

Trying out this app for the first time. Here’s a photo of me on the beach in Fire Island Pines around 1989 or 1990

Me on Fire Island Pines beach in 1989 or 1990. Naked with a (borrowed) parrot. Cold ocean water caused shrinkage.:)
