I am submitting this photo on behalf of Dick Kamm (1928-2006) for enjoyment and commentary by the photo.net community. For more on Dick, see here. Athough Dick is no longer around to read your comments, I hope you like his pictures and I would enjoy discussing them with you.

Here, in 1949, one Lockheed F-80 ground crewman prepares to hurl a snowball at another (the photographer) on a cold, clear day in Bavaria. This is uncropped from the original 5.5x5.5cm negative. I felt there was nothing I could do that would improve this composition.

Super! I like it very much!

What an amazing photographer Dick was, that he could compose a perfect shot while dodging a snowball!

 

Its really quite a shot - wether you look at it as a photographer, or as an aviation enthusiast! Either way, it has so much going for it on so many levels! I love it!

20 years before I was born...

I love these "off the cuff" jewels. Just beautiful composition with one of my favorite objects (airplane) included!
