Richard Locke

Richard Holt Locke (1941-1996) was a ground breaking gay adult film star who became a tireless AIDS activist and advocate before succumbing to the disease himself.  Older, hairier, and more masculine than just about anything anyone had seen up to that point, he did a massive reset on the gay porn business.  Today I am posting a long overdue series honoring this iconic figure.

 

That look

Mr. Locke certainly knew how to project a persona.

 

Carried Away

Richard Locke is carrying off his unknown (to me anyway) co-star.  The butterly tattoo always

 seemed a bit incongruous on such a macho porn star, but it didn't put anybody off.

 

Nice lighting

The photographer either knew something about lighting or got lucky with this one.

This is from the film Forbidden Letters, and I think the other guy is Robert Adams.

 

With Clay Russell

Younger

All my source said about this one was that it is from Richard Locke's younger days.

 

Favorite with Matt Harper

This is my favorite of the day, despite the very subdued nudity.  Mr. Locke was 

quoted as saying that he felt a real connection with a few of his co-stars.  

Perhaps Matt Harper, aka Will Seager, was one of those men.

 

Lick

Anybody know who the other guy is in this steamy shot?

Brian E.'s Contributions

Those of you who follow the comments will no doubt know that whenever I do a "name that model" series, Brian E. frequently comes up with the most correct IDs.  Not only does he do that, but he often generously sends me more images of the men he names.  (He is also an afficionado of all things to do with facial hair, but that's a topic for another day.)  Today I am posting ten of his contributions.  We begin with a stern Len Goodman showing off his fur in the AMG shower.

Thanks, Brian, for your participation and your generosity!

 

Paul Stevens and Mike Norlan

Pat Rocco took this great photo of Paul Stevens (left) and Mike Norlan.

 

Bill Dudley

I don't know the photographer who took this shot of Bill Dudley.

 

Dick Scott

I've seen more than one model listed as Dick Scott, but this is one of the better ones.

Those of you fond of natural bush will no doubt be happy to see it.

The photographer is unknown, at least to Brian and me.

 

Earl and Ray

In our second trip of the day to Bob Mizer's shower, we see a pleased Earl Lawrence

getting his back soaped by a model I have only seen referred to as "Ray."

 

Joe Stone

Here we have Joe Stone and his very fine backside.  Photo by AMG.

 

Emmett Schaeffer

Pat Milo is the likely photographer of this picture of Emmett Schaeffer.

 

David Jones

In yet another AMG photo, we see David Jones standing beside a motorcycle.

Kevin Dea

Closing the Brian E. contribution set with a stunning shot of Kevin Dea by Don Whitman 

of Western Photography Guild.  Many thanks to Brian for today's images.

 

Scouts and Snoops

Today's theme is men who are either lookouts or snoops.

We start with two guys giving the scout a lift.

 

Von Gloeden

I think this is a Von Gloeden.

 

Shark duty

As soon as the guy with the binoculars gives the all clear 

for shark sightings, the other fellow will jump in.

 

Bird or Aircraft?

The angle of his view makes me think this man is looking for either a bird or an aircraft.

 

W&B?

I get a Wyngate & Bevins vibe from this one.

 

Crocodiles!

Mr. Scumbeast called this one "Look! Crocodiles!!!"

 

Low hanger lookout

Standing by

The guy at left looks like he's waiting for something.

 

Scanning

Perhaps he's scanning the horizon for Mr. Right's approaching boat.

 

Snoop and Sun

Our last two snoops are combining scouting with a sunbath.
