"Hard Rock Randall" (Album 1 Image 30)

ca. 1935. "'Hard Rock' Randall" - portrait of unsmiling, stubble-faced individual, circa 1935. This is believed to be Virna Haffer's third husband, Norman Randall. He would be extensively photographed by Haffer in the 1930s and '40s. This portrait of Randall would win first prize in a San Francisco competition sponsored by Camera Craft magazine in 1936.

"Gian Paola" (Album 2 Image 48)

ca. 1929. "Gian Paola" - portrait of person with brightly lit face and clenched hand emerge from a sea of black. This circa 1929 photograph was exhibited at the 1928 Seattle Camera Club (SCC) show. According to the book, "A Turbulet Lens: The Photographic Art of Virna haffer," this unusual work had "intense and disturbing qualities" quite at odds with other exhibition entries that stressed beauty.

Untitled (Chapter 15 Image 1)

Portrait of fortune-teller. The dark haired woman has a weary smile on her face. She is holding a lit cigarette in one hand. Part of a deck of cards is scattered on the table before her. The photograph's background is dark and muted and the picture itself may be purposefully out of focus. (Virna Haffer Collection)
