Was going through the photo stack once again before filing away - I have at least 100 of them but most are not really nudes but contest & nude crowd type because I was shooting for a magazine to cover the EVENT more than the Nudity, and these three struck my eye. Snapshot #1 were just a regular nudist couple there, the Summer of Love with their van in the background, hair, necklace, sandals, etc. Thought those who grew up a more free spirit during the period might appreciate. #2 & #3 I realize don't below in this section but thought they would make the ones that ask here "Where do you find women to photograph nude" scream. By the end of the day I was soooo bored at looking and shooting young, beautiful women with no clothes I started to shoot the ones that were dressed!!!

#1 He got carried away with the hair blower. She wasn't able to fluff her hair.
I'll bet they were local Hoosiers.
Also, generally wrong type of van for the "free spirits". Unless it was just purchased for possible redecoration. Mine was a retiree from Ma Bell, a Ford Econoline. Many went after the VW buses. Those with lesser taste went after the Chevy vans.
#3 She was a photographer for a competing Girlie magazine.

Perms for white guys were pretty popular late 70s (trying to copy Afros) - I even had one for a few years. Yeah, in this day & age using PS that would be an inserted VW van all pyscho-painted but here it is the one they drove.
Good pick up on #3 - forget type of camera she had but it didn't come from the Five & Dime store.
Glad to see you posted more. I love these vintage images.

Yeah, now I looked closer probably was, although the lens looks 3rd party. I just googled and they were made 1971-1980 so time period is correct. Still about $300 on eBay.

Agree - another poster pointed out Nikon F2 Photomic. Here is another photo I found - assume 3rd party lens because don't remember Nikon having speed focus bumps on theirs?

Decently 50mm 1.4 just looks like it is well loved so much so she has worn the paint off
