Ezra's been building up impressive static voltage on plastic playground slides; the resulting hair-poof indicates a haircut is needed soon.

Found Kodachrome slide dated April 1967. There must be many places in the U.K. called Thorpe Cross Farm, by it the only one that Google finds is in Thorpe-le-Soken in Essex (and that only because they filed a planning application).

Agfaphoto CT100 Slide film, E6 development.
Mixed feelings about this film, on one hand it captures the sky and moody clouds very well but in general seems that the speed rating is far to high for the results.
I kind of expected a slightly higher resolution of the film when scanned, and also to be a bit more punchy in color resolution but it seems lifeless and flat, on some shot a little muddy especially as most were shot on brilliantly sunny days.
Scanned on a Plustek Opticfilm8100.
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 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.
One of a bunch of old slides my friend found and graciously let me scan. Restored from a nasty reddish hue. (Detail)
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.
