Last Ponderosa

Just wanted to post this other photo of the previous contestant that I found later (without the head shadow on her "stomach" area from the person next to her), along with one of all the winners of the contest at the Ponderosa Sun Club in Indiana. (Smile when you see it)

Definitely a bygone era... to which some (most?) of us can relate.

There were those days when beauty was viewed at body level, without the unnecessary adornments.
Too much "ink" these days.

I agree, and on this particular hot, sunny day the ladies even had on little or no makeup because it didn't stand up to heat back then. I was shooting speculative for a magazine this day so all color shots are on Kodachrome but some would show even better beauty.There were those days when beauty was viewed at body level, without the unnecessary adornments.
Plus before software, what went into the camera came out of the camera the same, sometimes unseen with my SLR until the film was processed! (lol)

I have always contended that all beauty contests should have one segment where the contestants pose nude sans make up, even without the ankle-twisting four-plus inch heels. Then the beauty scale would be more accurate.

Yeah, like us guys could stand up to those requirements. Guess we should just be satisfied with the opportunities to shoot we have been given.

Give me bright eyes and sincere smiles. I will be happy to photograph females and males of all types and ages.

First of all, great images in this thread.
I love the term "store bought" and I'm not a big fan of augmented breasts or anything else. That said, finding models these days that have not gone under the knife is getting harder and harder. It's a shame, really. In my view, if a model has attractive facial features and is reasonably fit, the body that mother nature gave her is going to be both appealing and interesting photographically.

Well, after so many "saw it" comments I looked again, and it hit me in an instant. My only excuse for not seeing it earlier is distraction by what I prefer to focus on.

And, I worked so semi-hard to get it centered. (giggling)
