Category: Target Studios

from the FALL 1986 issue of Manscape 2, photographer Starbuck (AKA Jon Target), that’s clearly Branch Lester getting his ass eaten, right? But(t), by who (m)??? No clue at the link for Branch’s only film – Branch Lester (1981) AKA Leatherman but look closely at the 8MM box – different film (Brute Force, pt 1: SADIST), and I am sure that’s Dan Pace (AKA Rocky Genaro) w/Fred Halsted and a blonde – likely from this film – Hell’s Dungeon pt 1 , amiright?

so, after that long diversion, back to – who the heck is the ass-eating mustached man??? ramble on! And another thing…. Starbuck’s (AKA Jon Target) photography shows up in these late 80’s early 90’s magazines, but why the name change? I’m guessing perhaps Jon’s Target Studio output was sold off, but he kept stuff, and re-sold under new name? Just a guess – but somebody somewhere must know, right?

I rarely rarely just re-post a full magazine page or two; while I try not to get too “creative” with changing original images, I’m usually just cropping out any text, re-centering, cutting out dirty feet or other unflattering bits – that sort of thing. Here I’m posting the pages as they appeared, just in case it helps someone help me ID this guy – I really don’t remember this Target model! Honcho began sometime in the late 90’s to publish vintage pics (alas, usually only 2 pages) from the “Target Archives” – sometimes using a different name (Like Nick Rogers was in the October 2000 issue of Honcho, but the text was: Flashback: Larry White – Los Angeles, CA 1978 ). So in this case, Richard may not be his name, or even his “model” name – but still, just his image – I am drawing a blank! This “Flashback” is from the April 1999 issue of Honcho – anyone?
