General Opinions
These pictures are taken from remarkable angles. I like her perception of her world. These pictures show us the little things that many
dis-regard as normal. The only thing I don’t like is the age (black and
white), I think these pictures would look great in color.
Cool Facts
Her name at birth was spelled Bernice, while in France she adopted the French way of spelling her name ,Berenice.
