Can we just have the Kavanaughty pictures please?!

Surely - someone has some good photos of these guys debauchery.

(not assaults - just being asshats)

The way this has come out - they seem to be "trumping" every denial with more salacious details.

Can photos be far off?

I'd wager there are tapes. And Polaroid instamatics were a thing too.....

Plus those fantastic 8 track players for music as I dimly recall.

Where is tech when you need it??

7. LOL... we are talking early 1980s. The first iphone was introduced in 2007!

The very first cell phones--widely distributed-- occurred after 1995.

6. How soon we forget.... People really didn't lug cameras everywhere as much prior to cell phones...

Disposable (film) cameras weren't even introduced until the late 1980s and digital cameras not until several years after that.

Could someone have brought a film camera and taken photos? Sure, but the likelihood of having them found and available, I think, is low.

8. Instamatic 126 and Polaroid had been around decades.

And weren't uncommon - you didn't pop off pictures like you do today - but there must be something out there - these were affluent kids - they could afford it.

9. I didn't say cameras weren't available. Just that teens didn't take & whip them out like cell phones

and under the chance that they DID bring a polaroid (fade after a few years) or a kodak instamatic camera--readiy available, the odds the negatives or original photos would be available more than three decades later would be low.

Film was expensive - and you still had to pay to get it developed.

Im 51 - I remember.

I was around then, and we took photos at special events, parties, at the beach and on vacation.

Kav's own Georgetown Prep HS YEARBOOK is a goldmine, some photos and many comments.

Everything shouldn't be gauged by internet technology since the 2000s.
