The images are kinda muddy. I wonder if he used a Leica camera to shoot that film?

Isn't the artist LeRoy Neiman? He did a number of art pieces which were sports related.

Eah... I was trying to needle Joe but he either didn't take the bait or he doesn't get out of the bilge much.

Edison did not invent the movie camera...although he took credit for it. The Sept 1900 Galveston hurricane aftermath was filmed by an edison associate who told the townfolk it was a surveying device..
The camera was invented by an african american gentleman, and was told by edison that he could never hope to sell it because he was black...and then cut a very lucrative deal (edison, for himself) that included not revealing who really invented it for a ridiculously long period, so that edison got the lion's share of royalties and all the credit for the invention...very similar to many of Edison's so called inventions.
