Ooo, thanks! Two of my all time favorites among them:

Fun during Coffee Break, 1932
Martin Munkacsi

The Grand Prix of the A.C.F., 1913
Jaques Henri Lartigue

Here is my homage to the Lartigue one:

The distortion in both his and my images is due to the movement--both subject and camera, combined with the slow vertical travel of the shutter curtain slit. Both Lartigue's ancient plate camera and my rock bottom digital EyeModule2 have this "flaw" of "top to bottom slow scan" as it were. Most modern camera shutters never even heard of such beautifully atrocious backwardness. (g)

And while on the subject of exhibitions, Kevin Watson pointed out this one:

Big article about it on front of last NYT Sunday arts section.
