Blossom poses with stepdaughter Geraldine Lacks ~ No. 2 (spring 1945; actual size approx. 2.2 x 2.3 in. (5.6 x 5.8 cm.)). Photo courtesy of Alex Buchman. This photo is part of a 3-by-4 composite proof of twelve small photos, two of which are almost completely hacked away. This is one of the twelve, shown here at full 300-dpi resolution. Lightly retouched to remove white spots on the sky and Blossom's coat, then desaturated to remove color artifacts. Note creasing damage to the left of, and above, Geraldine's face. Note also the strange halo effect, particularly prominent on Blossom's coat, almost certainly a lens aberration introduced during the shoot. Compare to this photo, where the halo effect is especially noticeable.
