Found slide in Gepe home-mount, undated and unlabelled. Appears to show an entrance to a castle, but Google Image Search doesn't find it.
From the Tate Website:
"For Carsten Höller, the experience of sliding is best summed up in a phrase by the French writer Roger Caillois as a ‘voluptuous panic upon an otherwise lucid mind’. The slides are impressive sculptures in their own right, and you don’t have to hurtle down them to appreciate this artwork. What interests Höller, however, is both the visual spectacle of watching people sliding and the ‘inner spectacle’ experienced by the sliders themselves, the state of simultaneous delight and anxiety that you enter as you descend.
To date Höller has installed six smaller slides in other galleries and museums, but the cavernous space of the Turbine Hall offers a unique setting in which to extend his vision. Yet, as the title implies, he sees it as a prototype for an even larger enterprise, in which slides could be introduced across London, or indeed, in any city. How might a daily dose of sliding affect the way we perceive the world? Can slides become part of our experiential and architectural life?
Höller has undertaken many projects that invite visitor interaction, such as Flying Machine (1996) that hoists the user through the air, Upside-Down Goggles (1994/2001) that modify vision, and Frisbee House (2000) - a room full of Frisbees. The slides, like these earlier works, question human behaviour, perception and logic, offering the possibility for self-exploration in the process."
Found Agfacolor slide, undated, showing people at a wedding (at least I assume it's a wedding because all the men are wearing buttonhole flowers).
My dad took a lot of pictures, always slides. Every now and then he would announce a "slide night" when he would set up the projector--two projectors with a dissolve later on--pull out a few carousels from his cabinets and pull down the screen permanently mounted in the ceiling of the big room. We'd move the furniture around so everyone had a good view and watch slides for the next hour or two. Since I've been back in Dallas, I've invited the family over a couple of times for family slide nights. We're all digital now and people bring CDs to play on my laptop instead of carousels but the rest of it is pretty much the same. We eat and then catch up on what the siblings have been doing with pictures of vacations and birthdays and graduations.
That's my dad in the portrait on the wall, by the way.

Found in a box of slides. I haven't done much with this one and am posting it more out of curiosity than for anything else. I assume this must have been taken in Natchez, but I'm at a loss regarding the exact location. I hope the house with the gingerbread trim remains. it does look familiar, but I'm unable to place this. Could it have been taken somewhere near Stanton Hall? I'm going to guess that this was taken in 1971 or 1972.
Believe it or not, this is my reflection in the sun drenched metal slide at the playground in the Park blocks of Portland State University.
One of a bunch of old slides my friend found and graciously let me scan. Restored from a nasty reddish hue. (Detail)

Averill's afraid of the big slides this year (even though he would ride them last summer) but he loves going with someone.
Slide Mountain (8,448 feet) gets its name from the huge landslides on its southeast slopes which have been occurring periodically for centuries. The last one was Memorial Day weekend in 1983 and it killed a guy.
From the north (Reno) Slide Mountain looks like an inviting ski resort; but from the south, approaching from Carson City, you see these steep landslides hundreds of feet long.
