Description
Photograph of a man water skiing one-handed on a lake, ca.1950. A man makes his way across the water with both his feet planted on skis, one hand lifted into the air. He swerves to the left and leaves a large splash in his wake. Around him, the water crashes on all sides. In the distance, the shore can be seen, followed by thick lines of trees and hills. Several sailboats can be seen near the shore as well.
