    Love your photos, especially of Marilyn Monroe, Jimi Hendrix and Amy Winehouse! However, I did not find a black and white photo of Marvin Gaye that I would love to purchase, as long as the price is right! ): I’d love to obtain a poster size of Marvin Gaye for framing. Can you assist me in this endeavor? Thank you so much!
