Dale Higgins took this photograph of Eric and Scott Higgins in front of a huge maple tree that was in their front yard. It is double exposed. At the time, Dale was interested in photography. He was experimenting with different photographing techniques. He was getting ready to start shooting weddings. To get a double exposure, one would cover up part of the lens with a black card and then take the picture. That would expose the portion that wasn’t covered. Then, there was a film release button on the bottom of the camera that one would push, hold, and then one would cock the camera with the film advance lever. This would recock the camera but would not advance the film. Then one would put the black card over the portion of the lens that was used the first time, then retake the picture of whatever else was wanted in the double exposed picture. Photography fascinated Eric and Dale. Dale built a darkroom in their basement with an enlarger, a sink, and plumbed water in the room. Eric and Scott Higgins didn’t mind having their photo taken all the time.
