Djinn family photo

There's a scene or an image I thought was in Tim Powers'
Declare, but now can't find: can anyone help me source it?

A photo of an adult and a child beside a bonfire. Someone's looking at
the photo and says look at the grouping; it's a family portrait -- the
fire is a djinn, one of the child's parents.

I think this is from Kraken, by China Mieville.

Not sure about Declare, but there is a similar scene in Three Days To Never.

It's in Kraken.

Have found scene on phone, typed part of it & emailed you. I love technology.
