Description
Photograph of a man water skiing on a lake on one ski, holding the other in his hand, ca.1950. A swim wear-clad man makes his way through the water on one ski, holding the second ski in his left hand. Holding the ski line in his right hand, he makes his way across the lake, leaving a white water-line in his wake. In the background, the shoreline can be discerned, lined with what appear to be houses, establishments and utility poles.
