Anton Karpacz






I've reblogged this photograph for the simple reason that i think it is one of the most bizarre images that I have ever seen. Anton Karpacz  aka Haxen-Toni '- a footballer with the Munich Club Terra Pila  who later abandoned the game to devote himself to  alpinism and the foundation of the German Alpine Club.
 Toni stands transfixed on the fur rug, mesmerized as  the ball floats through the neo classical decor of the studio.
