Henry Diltz photographed Richard Pryor's first album cover in 1968. It wasn't this picture, This was taken for a publicity picture around the same time. Gary Burden had this big flag on his garage wall, which set Richard off on an endless series of poses, each one funnier than the last.

Christopher ★★★★★

The photo's grain and the way the flag catches the light in the background really pull you into that 1968 moment. It feels less like a staged publicity shot and more like a candid glimpse of who he was then.
