These are considered first strikes 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.~ plus added bonus ~ the 1965 BIG Waljim Magazine featuring this photo session ~ Helmut Riedmeier gymnasium wrestling singlet muscle bulge, pecs abs muscular hardbody bodybuilder Whether measured in terms of his prolific output, sales, his early and sophisticated use of customer mailing lists which he learned when mentored by Lon Hanagan of NY and Bob Mizer of AMG, or his impact upon the U.S. censorship laws of his time 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 icons: Tore Lind, Helmut Reidmeier, Roye Could, Rod Bauer, Guy Harding Moore, Carmen Cacopardo, Monte Hanson, Dana Summers Somers, Jim Stryker, Darryl Powers, Scott Manley, Ray Kellogg, Mike Pohl, Rick Draper, Lance York, Stanley Hilkert (Stan Hilkert), Bo Brandon (Bo Branden), Wayne Arlen (John Davidson), Rod Bauer, Scott Brewer, Glenn King, Joe Cali, Clif Dollard, Fred Frandac, Ken French, Boyd Goddard, Hayden West, Finn Kohlert, Roger Kent, Keri Long, Joe Canoli, Scott Manley, Chad Morgan, Warren Newman, Chris Niles, David Knight, Noel Peters, Ralph Pfundstein, Dean Roberts, Jack Reno (Doug), John Romero, Dan Shea, Dick Stark, Jock Stuart, Dick Trivan, Paolo Vita, Vince Vitale, Bill Wellet, Chip Wood, Ward Randall, Bob Anders, Luke Bodin, Rocco Capri, Cherokee, Jim Curtis, Zip Cragen, Jim Curtis, Bill Ferguson, Ken French, Chet Hilkert, Phil Welsh, Dwight Kessell, Glen Kincaid, Majestic, Lucky Moore, Darryl Powers, Ward Randall, Helmut Reidmeier, Ken Raye, Bud Savage, Garth Singer, Rod Thoder, Lance York, Phil Welsh, Randy. and many more ~ THEM Treasure House of European Models / Champion Studio / Master Physique / Sunshine Beach Club brands ~ COMBINED SHIPPING DISCOUNT, photographs books magazines added at a reduced rate Original, collectible vintage photographs, unique books of photography and infamous photographers, and rare Magazines of the era;
