A few weeks ago someone mentioned Doc Edgerton and I noted that I had been in his lab at MIT and took pictures. Late 70's early 80's, I was a member of the MIT juggling club. (NO I did not attend MIT) We used to meet on the lawn in good weather. One day this elderly gent came to us and wanted to know if some of us could juggle in his lab while he took pictures. By this time the MIT students were whispering, "That's Doc Edgerton". So I took my trusty Minolta SRT 101 and followed him to the lab and took some pictures.

I was guessing at exposure and speed, with a little help from Doc.

I had a Minolta SRT 101 for many years. My trusty companion until I was gifted a Nikon N90. Frankly, I preferred the Minolta. The images you captured are interesting. Reminds me of "cave painting".
