David Randolph Hurles (born September 12, 1944, Cincinnati) is a gay pornographer, whose one-man company, run from a private mailbox, was called Old Reliable Tape and Picture Company. His work, produced primarily in the 1970s and 1980s, falls into three categories: photographs, audio tapes, and videotapes. Hurles' models were typically ex-cons, hustlers, drifters, and lowlifes. ==Early years== At age 20, inspired by John Rechy's just-published novel City of Night,〔http://www.amazon.com/review/RYE24RTKY9937 (permalink), retrieved 2014-08-23〕 David left Cincinnati, and moved to Berkeley. In the 1960s, he appeared in movies and magazines, with Guild Press, Washington D.C., for whom he was also a photographer.〔Jack Fritscher, "Old Reliable: A legend in his own time.

Fritscher himself has denied this, saying that Blue and Hurles have "archetypal coincidental adventures..., but Solly Blue is not based personally on David Hurles. 〕 Hurles has written of San Francisco at the time: "Perhaps you had to be there...the 70's, San Francisco, the blossoming and peak of the gay sexual culture. It was a rare time; everything, it seemed, was perfect. So perfect, in fact, that those of us there could not have possibly imagined it might ever be otherwise!"〔From a review of the 1990 edition of Fritscher's ''Some Dance to Remember'', http://www.amazon.com/review/R45HAJNZ7T86/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=1890834262, retrieved 2014-09-16〕 Jim Stewart describes his encounter with Hurles, and the neighborhood they both lived in, in the first chapter of his ''Folsom Street Blues''.〔''Folsom Street Blues: A Memoir of 19702 SoMa'' (of Market St. ) ''and Leatherfolk in Gay San Francisco", Palm Drive Publishing, 2011, ISBN 1890834033〕 His first published pictures appeared in ''Drummer'', 21 (January 1978);〔Jack Fritscher, ''Gay San Francisco: Eyewitness Drummer'', Palm Drive Publishing, 2008, ISBN 1890834386, p. 293; http://www.jackfritscher.com/PDF/Drummer/Vol%201/21_MenSOMA_Mar2008_PWeb.pdf, retrieved 2014-09-02〕 no other magazine would touch them.〔Jack Fritscher, untitled biographical sketh of Hurles, in ''Gay San Francisco: Eyewitness'' Drummer: ''A Memoir of the Sex, Art, Salon, Pop Culture War, and Gay History of "Drummer" Magazine, The Titanic 1970s to 1999, Volume 1'', Palm Drive Publishing, 2008, ISBN 1890834386, p. 59; text reproduced at http://www.jackfritscher.com/PDF/Drummer/Vol%201/07_Intro%20Hurles_Mar2008_PWeb.pdf, retrieved 2014-08-25〕 He also shot many covers and centerfolds for Fritscher's zine ''Man2Man Quarterly'' (1980-1982),〔Jack Fritscher, biographical sketch of Hurles, in ''Gay San Francisco: Eyewitness Drummer'' San Francisco: Palm Drive Publishing, 2008 ISBN 1890834386, p. 59; reproduced at http://www.jackfritscher.com/PDF/Drummer/Vol%201/07_Intro%20Hurles_Mar2008_PWeb.pdf, retrieved 2014-08-25〕 whose mailing address was Hurles' San Francisco apartment.〔Jack Fritscher, ''Gay San Francisco: Eyewitness Vol 4 - The Rise and Fall of Drummer Magazine'' Palm Drive Publishing, 2008, Chapter 19, reproduced at http://jackfritscher.com/PDF/Drummer/Vol%204/SalonChapter-19_2013-07-09%20Final-Web.pdf〕 Subsequently Hurles' photos have appeared in dozens of gay magazines.
