Local filmmaker Dean Peterson discovered this old photograph tucked into a book at a second-hand store in Wicker Park.

I can’t really figure out what’s going on in the picture, to the best of my abilities it seems like somebody is falling while water skiing.

I love it, it’s such an awesome, abstract photo but somebody evidently didn’t think enough of it to do anything with it other than mark their place in a book they didn’t even want to keep.

Now it’s mine.

And now it's the internet's, too. [Ball Till I Fall]
