Found in a box of junk my brother-in-law inherited. That's not Pinocchio, it's just the way the background aligns with the kid's nose.
Edit: Thank you all for your replies. I'll pass this info along to my brother-in-law.

If the date is correct that's a couple of years before the men in my immediate family started schlepping Ira"s camera gear around the mountains and occasionally posing in his photos (one of which was a billboard advertising Kodak in NY Grand Central Station).. He was shooting lots of large format (film obviously) back then with huge cameras that were heavy and fragile..

That picture looks really familiar. Butt I live in Arizona. So do not know where I have seen it. Maybe in a history class or something.

Ira Spring. I actually got to meet him, I managed a grocery store in Edmonds and he used to come in and we would talk about hiking and climbing.
