snowbound

sometime while scouring my hard drive, looking back at the comment from earlier in the day I thought – “WAIT! Why am I looking for the source of a pic from a post OVER TEN YEARS AGO???!!!??” I had, actually, found the model, and I thought the magazine, Playguy, Vol 5 No 4 (1980) and realized I still had that issue! Alas, it’s him, but not the snowy pics – I’m sure it’s him, but where is he all snowy?? After 15 hours without power, this is what I am using the computer for? But, using my search skills, once I found not the same pic, but this pic above that had to be the same photo shoot, I found the issue, something I sold in 2017, but had the html file with my notes – Snowbound (cover/center – Eric Perkins, photographer) – 3 2-page photographs! and then searching my files I found the scans, all 9 of them from my eBay auction, high resolution, but, alas, not the 2-pager that I was asked about… OK, I’ve led the horse to water… wait, is that the expression I am looking for? Exhausticated. must. sleep

who’s your friend, Paul?

Stumbled upon some very nice photographs with a very familiar face, by photographer Malcom Hoare. Of course, Paul is very familiar (but aren’t you really Joe Porcelli?), but his lovely partner while somewhat familiar, I haven’t a clue who he is. Any ideas? Meanwhile, I can see that while this may be from a French publication, the photos seem to have been taken on Fire Island… and there might be a Jack Deveau connection? (That tease is for another post). Which made this that must harder, as the 2nd photo the 2nd guy looks a bit like Matt Harper (AKA Will Seagers) who has done work for Deveau (but, alas, not Joe…errr, Paul)!

rockshots


I was hoping to do a fuller post on photographer Michael Rock, and gay greeting card company ROCKSHOTS – but click that link and it’s broken! Who can forget the “Toto, I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore.” card??? I know he used Ron Raz a lot as a model (given the chance, who wouldn’t??!!), and if you click thru you’ll see Santa Ron. Michael Rock’s photos appeared in MANDATE (frequently in 1977, but other years as well), most notably the January 1980 issue (see pic below), including cover; also in at least the January 1983 Honcho, multiple issue of PLAYGUY…. Anyone else remember ROCKSHOTS?

oh wait – the Michael Rock / Rockshots article has been moved to the Archives – yeah!

Playguy SANTA

wish I had a better version of this photo by Roy Blakey; also wish I could narrow down the month this PLAYGUY, Vol 5, No 1 – I am fairly sure it is 1980 – December? January?

Don Kyle

who you may remember as DAN KENNEDY from NOVA films! (OK, just the one) Here he is from IN TOUCH #30 (1978) maybe before NOVA/Nebula got a hold of him, photographed by HY CHASE.

a few internet searches gets us a bit more – like Big Dick Dan (a whole heck of a lot of photos!! which makes me think there’s more searching to do in my In Touch collection) and as Harry Hungwell in a str8 porno clip!

HY CHASE (to do)

Hy Chase, a photographer from the 1970’s, who I’ve come across most often in IN TOUCH magazine, has very little info online. I’ve had his name in my drafts folder (which is back up to 89!), and this is my “place holder” to remind me to do more research. Alas, I sold this publication in 2004!
