my brother’s best friend’s grandfather was the original playboy photographer.

they almost gave my brother his old, original camera when they cleaned out their vault.

yeah, they’re rich enough to need a vault and have no conscious or guilt towards selling the original print of Dovina and the Elephant by Richard Avedon himself. the most orgasmic print, it was really fucking big and better quality than the one they just displayed at the mfa. if you can’t tell, i’m still upset about it. when i was younger i would just sit in front of this photo and drool.
