Classic Dave DeWolf photo

Recommended Posts

Over the past few weeks I've been going through 25 Kodak carousels and 47 assorted boxes of 35mm slides (you know, those cameras that actually required film instead of a flash card) I made while I was doing skydiving photography during the late 70s and early 80s.  The vast majority of them are freefall shots I made during various Freak Brother Conventions,  Herd Boogies, Turkey and Easter meets at ZHills, Tubesteak Boogies, and at drop zones across the country.  I've got several thousand slides to sort through, and I'm only picking out the best shots so that I can eventually digitize them and get them into a format I can see at a later date without having to use a dinosaur slide projector.  

One of them is classic Dave DeWolf.  I made it at the Herd Boogie in the early 80s, and it shows Dave naked in a cardboard box that is suspended from his shoulders by ropes.  On the outside of the box it says "Raffle tickets $1.00.  Clothe a Herd Member."  If you pitched in a buck Dave would raise up a little door he had at his crotch.  Unfortunately, I made the photo at an angle that shows his johnson through the raised door.  At some point I'll get it digitized and somehow pixelate out his johnson so I can post it on this website without getting locked up for distributing porn.  And, oh, the toga party pics!  

The other photo is of Carl Daugherty and Charlie McGurr lying on the roof of the old packing shed at ZHills after their midair collision during on the the meets in the late 70s.  They're being attended to by medical personnel, and if I remember correctly one of them was transported to the hospital and the other somehow avoided transport with minor injuries.  Once I get them into a format that's usable I'll post them here.
