"Send to back" and "bring to front" is working with text frame and photo but not with photo and photo. I am trying to put the photo of the old paper behind the portrait. Indesign tells me that the paper is all the way back and that the portrait is in front but it is not working, see photo.(I have not been using layers, am trying to avoid them.)

Sounds very much like you ARE using layers or the photo in question is on a master page.

I apply a Master page to each page in my document. Most are called "A-2-Col Master". To my surprise, I just clicked on layers and I see that the page in question DOES have two layers! The Blue Layer, Layer 1, had everything on it. The Red Layer, Layer 2, was blank.

So, I just put the portrait on the 'Red Layer and now I have two ways in which I cannot get her portrait on top of the old paper.

Seems like that Red layer is the bottom layer. Move it to the top and make sure nothing you want below that image is on the master on that layer.
