Well yes, he had a black penis before. He had a battle with fournier gangrene which affects the private areas of men.
If you feel up to it google fournier gangrene and then go ahead and click images. If that is the type of black penis you thought opie had, you would be correct.
The photoshoot I did with him was after he had surgically attached the new "penis" Karen, his wife, really wanted some nice photos for around the house, and Opie came to me for suggestions and he told me the story of his fournier gangrene and I knew exactly what type of photoshoot we should do. Karen looks at the photo of Opie and his new penis, and everyday it reminds her to be thankful.
Photos should always have a meaning behind them.
