This is considered a first strike rather than
later printings done in large quantities for retail sale as part of
Champion's photo sets and the discrete stamp on the reverse is Kundzicz' which he asked for photo credit. He retired from commercial photography
in 1973, but in 1980, he began a new series, concentrating on the
erotics of jock straps, socks, nylons, and
jockey shorts. He retired in 1985 and turned the studio over to
Man-Age. It
is worth noting that when you see his photos signed verso and Champion
written in ink, these were done before his death at the request of Massengill who bought those from Walter (for resale) while working together on the CHAMPION book.
Whether measured in terms of his prolific output, sales, his early and sophisticated use of mailing lists which he learned when mentored by Lon Hanagan of NY and Bob Mizer of AMG, or his impact upon the US censorship laws of his hime photographing handsome, athletic scantily clad athletes packed with vintage, period props,
costumes, and bulging posing pouches, sheer see-thru and mesh jockstraps
- are notable not only for the commercial success during
the beefcake heyday, but also for their enduring creativity and imagination and his
most popular models have their ardent fans and have become

The seeds of the Leslie/Lohman Gay Art Foundation were planted
in 1968 when Fritz Lohman and Charles Leslie held a gallery show of
gay erotic art in their Soho loft. In 1990 they became a foundation
dedicated to preserving art which many in the art world used to
destroy. Ed Cervone "Three Sailor's". Or perhaps Patrick Angus'
Hanky Panky - set in an adult peep show movie house. Darold Perkins has taken an
Arrow Shirt ad and turned it into an ad instead. Next in the Drawings
and Prints category we particularly love Paul Cadmus; the explicit
Andy Warhol drawings -- he wasn't Tom of Finland.... but much more
than Campbell's Tomato Soup
