They say a picture is worth a thousand words. So technically, this article is worth at least 25,000 words because these pictures have never seen the light of day before. We asked ChatGPT how many pages 25,000 words is and it's all "that depends on font-size and line breaks", like dog, give me answers not excuses. Anywho, let's dive into some of these never before seen photos and the context behind them.
