[Mr Bump]

I think its a nice piece of kit but i do wonder about provenance with celebrity items.

lottery ticket purchased in anticipation.

 

[dinorock]

i've got one of his early photography books any offers

 

[Stuart M]

The provenance seems sound enough. I wouldn't be surprised to see up to $500,000 paid for such a piece of photographic history.

 

[steveo_mcg]

Will it let me take better photos?

 

[Woodsy]

Goodness me. So much want.

Oh my...

Would be a tragedy if that sits in a case in someone's house and never sees the light of day again, something like that should be appreciated by the masses in a museum or something like that.
