Faye was so hot back then.

Exactly!

I don't know who took the photo. It's in a book that came out a in 2004 by Clyde's sister-in-law, Blanche Barrow (the character married to Gene Hackman in the movie version). Blanche Barrow died in 1988. The book was heavily edited and annotated by John Neal Phillips, a serious B & C historian.

The frustrating/tantalizing thing about the photo is that it shows up in the book when Blanche is talking about the famous Dexfield Park shoot out (this is where Buck Barrow is mortally wounded and Blanche is captured and B & C and W.D. Jones barely escape alive). So, the impression from the book is that the photo was taken during the gang's brief and infamous stint hiding out in the abandoned Dexfield Park field. (The photo is only credited as being from Phillips's Collection.)

And the caption seems intentionally deceptive. It simply says: "Bonnie and Clyde camped outdoors." And it's accompanied by a quote from Blanche: "We had wanted to leave the park that night."

So, was the photo taken at Dexfield? Well, if Blanche took it, it's not likely it was taken at Dexfield. She was seriously wounded (glass in her eye from a previous shoot out) during the gang's Dexfield Park reprieve.

I can only guess that Phillips got the photo from Blanche or perhaps from Ralph Fults (an early associate of B & C, and one of Phillips's most prominent sources).

And so, I imagine the photo was taken by Blanche Barrow or Ralph Fults during one of the hundreds of times the gang was just parked off-the-road somewhere hiding out. I'd guess it's more likely Blanche took the photo than Fults because B&C look ragged and about 24-years-old. Fults had been with them earlier when things weren't quite as desperate.

There's a family legend that we're related to Bonnie Parker on my mother's side.

Yes. call me. I don't have your number.
