George and Blossom with George's daughter Geraldine (spring 1945; actual size approx. 2.2 x 2.3 in. (5.7 x 5.8 cm.)). Photo courtesy of Alex Buchman. Geraldine Lacks is at this point the only child of George's, by a previous marriage to Joy Lacks. (We can joke now that their marriage was utterly lacking in joy!) Geraldine pictured at 11 years, 4 months of age. 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. George may have shot this photo himself, using a tripod-mounted camera and timed shutter release. The scan has been desaturated to remove color artifacts. Note the ever-so-slight darkening of the vertical strip at left, an artifact introduced either during the shoot, or processing, or both.
