July 1950: This is a self portrait of King Mar taken in his one room apartment above the Pan American Cafe (150 N. Market, Wichita, KS). The business suit was typical of what he wore during the day as the manager/cashier of the Pan American. A nice photo using just the table lamps. An avid amateur photographer, he won trophies from the annual Shutterbug Field Days shooting color slides, stereo slides, black & white prints. His trophies were on display at the cafe. Models from the Stevens Beauty School posed for the amateurs at Riverside Park. This photo was originally a Kodak 35mm transparency.
