"Dedication" (Chapter 3 Image 25)
Part of Virna Haffer Collection
ca. 1934. "Dedication" - multiple exposures of nude man walking right to left across frame. According to the book "A Turbulent Lens," Haffer posed her husband, Norman Randall, in her studio with neutral backdrop and backlighting. A Graflex revolving magazine holder was used to take multiple exposures on several films and those resulting images were then sandwiched together. "Dedication" was used as the front and back inside covers for "Abundant Wild Oats," a book combining the poetry of Elizabeth ("Bettie") Sale and Haffer's photography. The book was never published although a prototype was made. (Virna Haffer Collection) (Bullock: A Turbulent Lens, p. 21, 126. 138, 117)
