Dancers


Harold Edgerton, Broadway Dancers 1947

I spoke too soon (of course). I keep meaning to mention that the U of M people eventually took a better position. But it's old news now.

Cold Water


Harold Edgerton, 1940

Sadly, the slippers are still missing.

Discovering this gem by Edgerton, I started thinking about the similarity between flash photographs and being hit in the face with ice water. Flash is bracing.

The next time I'm near Nebraska, I really want to look at the Edgerton Center. I'm curious about the archives at MIT too. Who knew somebody was crazy enough to attempt flash photography from an airplane?
