What a great photo. Max is looking very manly with his bearded-ness and hairy body. What is he wearing? A houndstooth overcoat? Whatever.
I remember Altomar. It was around for like 5 minutes in the ’90s and I think I had great hopes for it as an alternative to all the vanilla-ness of that time, but it didn’t really come to much, did it? Or maybe I just mean I wish it had been around longer. As I recall it was a little tough to get a hold of their titles. You had to order direct and it was hard to know if what you were gonna get was gonna be any good. I guess that was true of a lot of stuff from that era. Some companies were better at promoting/previewing their stuff than others. I can never recall seeing anything of theirs for rent or purchase at my local video rental or porn shop. I wish it had been.
There was some good stuff though (Men: Skin & Steel for instance) and it was especially great as a platform for models like Max and others with that kind of unusual appeal. I think they launched Frank Parker’s career. He was so hot. And I had a thing for Eric Rogers. Austin Black, Marc Mann. Marc Mann was like their spokesmodel at one point and in even more of their videos than Max Montoya.
I just learned from GEVI that Thor Johnson is another porn creator who was black and I never knew it. It may explain why his videos were so wonderfully diverse in their casts and what they explored? All sorts were in there. White/black, uncut, bears, tattoos, piercings, daddies-like real older men (at a time when there just weren’t any older men in mainstream gay porn-would you agree? The whole gay life ends at 30 BS) Just a lot of great stuff outside the norm.
OK, so Altomar is not so easily dismissed. It was actually pretty groundbreaking I guess.
I meant to talk more about Max’s hotness. But I think the photo says a lot. Did you ever do a full profile on him? Might be a good future post. Not that you need more ideas for that folder.

one reader commented ” Awesome profile! Just packed with goodies. “
Awww damn. Haha! I should’ve checked BJLand before I said that. If I remember correctly, it was indeed packed with goodies.
