This is what Indian Larry called “surfing”. Unfortunately it lead to his death in 2004. That Larry was famous for his work is well known. He was also a good man. Roger Baker, a truly multi-talented artist, undertook an Indian Larry Field Tribute. He created a huge portrait of the man in the grass of a field in Ellenville, NY. Larry’s friends and family attended the ceremony......two of his choppers were ridden up from “the city”. Baker’s field work is best viewed from the air so antique biplanes were used to fly friends and family over the field. Meanwhile the event was being video-taped for a movie that documents the event start to finish adding good background footage explaining who Larry was - not only to the public - but to those who knew him well. It is a soulful piece of work. I have included but a small portion of the photographs I took at the field event and there are more on a following page of the premiere showing of the film at the Shadowland Theater also in Ellenville a year later.
