EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the thrill and grace of ski jumping in its purest form, this print takes us back to February 1923 at the ski championships in Grindelwald, Switzerland. The image showcases the incredible athleticism of Accola Rene as he soars through the air with a sense of anticipation that can be felt even today. Set against a backdrop of snow-covered mountains, this landscape shot perfectly encapsulates the natural beauty and open country that serves as both playground and challenge for these daring athletes. With his back turned towards us, we catch a glimpse of Accola's character and determination as he prepares to make his mark on the world stage. The stark contrast between black and white adds an element of timelessness to this archival piece. It transports us back to an era when extreme sports were still in their infancy, yet already captivating audiences around Europe. As one person stands alone on that snowy slope, we are reminded of the solitary nature of championship skiing - a sport where individual skill meets collective admiration. This print is not just about capturing a moment frozen in time; it is about celebrating human achievement amidst breathtaking scenery. It invites us to appreciate both the physical prowess required for such feats and the awe-inspiring wonders of winter sports.
