Dylan Briggs photo by David J Swift

In the summer of 1985, Swift was playing a wedding with the Stagecoach Band at Turpin Meadow Ranch when Bob Dylan crashed the party. Dylan asked to join the band for a few songs, and Swift deserted his bass, picked up his camera and made this image of the folk legend playing mandolin with Bill Briggs, a legend himself as the first person to ski the Grand Teton. The photo — one of Swift's most famous — is screwed to the wall at the Stagecoach Bar in Wilson to prevent theft.
