ABC Wednesday: Norma

Norma, June 6, 1940

wonders of wonders,

a babe's studio portrait

by her great-uncle

My family was fortunate

to have an uncle

who owned a photography studio.

Consequently, this portrait of me

was shot by this same uncle,

named Barney H. Kern.

Of course, it was not shot with color film,

since it was taken in the year of my birth, 1940. 

I do not know the process how the coloring 

was done, but I know that it

was hand-colored after the film was developed.

Perhaps you noticed that his logo was also

hand written.
