Cool Hank Aaron photo
 
Found this one the bay and emailed the seller to get more info on it. Turns out the seller was a long time TIME magazine editor(showed me his old business card and photos of him with other TIME employees. Did a search on his name and confirmed story) This piece was submitted in a TIME magazine contest in 1974 and one of a few originals. Was never actually published in the magazine.

That is a super cool photo. I love the time lapse aspect. I can remember watching him hit it. Very cool!

Thanks alot. Its even cooler that it came straight from a former time magazine employee

Ya its a great piece. Just talked to another former editor from TIME magazine and he confirmed all the information on the photo. Makes it that much better

Wow, that's a really great photograph! I wonder what won the contest if that didn't?

Ya i cant see anyone topping that. Just got it today and it looks great. Came with 2 loa's. Both from former long time TIME magazine editors.(one from the guy i bought it from ) Stating this is one of maybe 2 or 3 originals. This one is more rare since it was the actual one submitted in the contest.
