Series IV: Recreation, Leisure, and the Environment, 1970-1989
Scope and Content of Collection
This small series represents Ted Sahl's personal interests and his travel experiences while on vacation. This series is less political in nature and is focused almost entirely on recreation, leisure, and the environment. Sahl captured a variety of sports, including martial arts, flag football, flying, sailing, skate boarding, swimming, and wrestling. This series includes photographic essays, as well as oversized landscape photographs of California, New Mexico, Oregon, Point Lobos, Sante Fe, Tao Pueblo, Tacoma, and Yosemite. Additionally, it contains a number of images of historical figures and "Wild West" reenactments at the San José History Museum in Kelly Park, the Santa Cruz Cooper House, views of jazz musicians from the Los Gatos night clubs, wine festivals, and images taken after the 1989 Loma Prieta Earth Quake.
