The family portrait photo would have been taken around 1971, seems a little late for a black-and-white photo.

Just guessing the other two would probably have been 1970ish - also seem a little late for B&W photos, especially since basically all of the Barry’s 1960’s Hawaii photos I can think of were in color.

Just a suggestion; Photo processing was a big deal back in the 1960s, and even into the 1970s here in America. The Black and White process was easier, if I understand correctly, and the color photo process was more difficult. Perhaps Indonesian photo processing labs were not well suited to it, or perhaps the cost was prohibitively more. Possibly they also had a camera that wouldn't accept anything but black and white film. Dunno. Just some stuff to keep in mind.

I just did a quick glance through family photos from 1960 -1972. Almost all were color, but in the early 1960’s, I would say 5% were B&W, with only sporadic B&W photos in the late 1960’s with the last B&W photo about 1970.

If my sample was used (without considering the Indonesia factor you mention) then I think the three photos being B&W would be unusual and the fact that they look phony.

If it is found that most photos in Indonesia around 1970 were B&W due to the factors you mention, then I believe that would eliminate the B&W question - just leaving the phoniness question.

Just remembered these photos:

I'm not sure if these fuzzy photos were supposed to be in Hawaii or Indonesia, but the photos phoniness factor is off the charts.

Every single one of the hundreds of my family photos I just glanced over from 1960-1970 were clear and didn't look phony, yet in every Obama childhood related photo something seems not just quite right.

Here's a photo of Maya maybe around 4-5 year olds with the caption saying the photo is from 1968.

I wonder if this was a slip of truth or just another of the many articles/ books that can't keep that 'Dreams' narrative straight.
