Springer at Old Reliable in 1990.  

Poetry In Motion

David Hurles of Old Reliable gave him the name Springer because this guy couldn't stay still for two minutes. 

More Springer

I'm not sure where this one is from. Besides Old Reliable, he did a couple of videos for Manco. Based on a photo I saw at least 20 years ago, I still think he did at least one session with AMG, but I never saw that again. 

Incredible

Springer by Old Reliable. 

He first started posing for OR in 1989 when he was 18 years old. (The bottom photo is from one of those early sessions.)  He continued to visit OR in the 1990s and he looked great each time. 

From one of his early OR sessions. 

I Heart the 80s

I recently found this promotion for a new book by Dian Hanson and David Hurles, the proprietor of Old Reliable.   The book showcases photos of the models David photographed in the 1980s with an emphasis on the clothes they wore when they showed up at David's door -- the same outfits they would wear walking the streets of West LA. 

It's also a "Whatever happened to?" type of book.  David provides updates on most of the models.  Which I'm sure makes for interesting reading.  Now I just have to remember where I found the link.

Flash was also known as Chris Kapellas at AMG.  I'm sure this outfit, including the handcuffs, turned some heads. 

Bad lad Jerry Suter.  While he doesn't hold the record for the worst OR model, he came pretty damn close.  My friend Jerry at Vintage Muscle Men will soon provide an update on this piece of trash. 

This could easily become by favorite photo of Montana.  I can just see him walking Santa Monica Blvd, turning heads as he made his way to David's house. 

I think Springer was more of 1990s model than an 80s model -- although his first session at OR was in 1989.  And his hair tells me this might be that session.  But, look at this outfit.  If you listen closely, you can probably hear the Backstreet Boys in the background.  

Springer?

If you're an Old Reliable fan you know who Springer is.  From his first session at OR he became one of the most popular models for that studio.  I'm fairly certain the guy on the left in this photo is Springer, but he probably used a different name.  Can anyone shed some light on this one?
