Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photograph of Glen Velzy hiding in a blind and taking aim at a ducks(out-of-frame) with his rifle during a trip to the Sunset Gun Club. The blind is in the foreground, right-of-center, on an embankment that stretches into the distance. Glen Velzy is in the blind and is only visible from the arms up. He faces towards the right and raises his rifle towards the upper right corner as he takes aim. Low chicken wire on the ground encircles Glen and lines the blind. Water stands on either side of the embankment. The opposite bank stretches across the horizon in the far distance. Text from negative sleeve: 1277. Sunset Gun Club, October 31, 1917.
