MAD Festival, 1979. These seven black and white film negative strips were created for the Lacey Leader newspaper. These images were using at least two separate film rolls, so some of the physical numbers on the strips are repeated. For the purposes of this description, these strips will be grouped according to the film roll from which they appear to have originally come. Each group will be assigned a lower-case letter to go along with the physical numbers on the strips (ex: 1a, 2a, 3a, 1b, 2b, 3b, etc.) to help differentiate between images.
The images in group "a" show people involved in various activities at the 1979 MAD Festival in Lacey, Washington. Image 3 shows a young woman wearing a bathing suit and a sash. She is shown from the waist up. Image 4 shows a different young woman wearing a bathing suit and a sash. This young woman is shown from the ankles up. A stage can be seen in the background.
