Tried to google his jaw-dropping 1920s picture of a motorcycle going through a puddle; no soap. Saw it in person in Manhattan two weeks ago, though, and it blew my fuses like no other photo ever has.

You mean like this one?

Couldn't find the picture in a bigger resolution on the net so far..

But I found a couple of others here and here.

Amazing work. Didn't know so far..

It so happens he was my upstairs neighbor as I was growing up.

I have to look at this video. I got interested in him again as I started thinking back on my own teenagehood photojournalist career.

When I was trucking I was laid over in Savannah, GA and I visited the Sav Coll of Art & Des library and read up on him. I was quite surprised to see a woman in one of HIS picts that is in one of MY picts. We hit the same woman,damn!! It must have been her plasticy hair.

As they say, "the nut doesnt fall far from the tree." So yes, he may have been creepy.

Actually, I can remember his last moments.

He chainsmoked, as I recall, and it gave him cancer.

Nothing we could do for him worked, as it usually doesn't in lung cancer cases, and he went to Mexico.

He died in a Laetril clinic.
