I’ve posted snapshots of a younger me with my mom and dad for Mother’s and Father’s Days. But here is a solo studio outing. I was ready for my close-up, as ready as I ever would be. Why are you seeing this photograph? Because Fresca has suggested to her readers that they post baby pictures.
A question I cannot answer: was sepia still common in the 1950s?

3:45 p.m.: I still can’t answer that question, but my mom confirms that this photo was tinted. (It’s not a faded black-and-white photo.)

Oh, how great, thanks!
I love seeing Baby you next to your profile photo---very much the same person.
(I don't know about sepia, but I don't recall any sepia photos in our family scrapbook that are later than my grandmother's youth in the 1910s-1920s...)
So too with ones of you and Marz —so much the same people.
These photos may have faded, though they still have grayish shading between them (five shots put together on a big page). Maybe the gray was pre-printed? I’ll see if my mom remembers.
My mom confirms: it’s tinted, not faded.
