Everything old is nude again. Today's aerodynamic, sweat-wicking fabrics have nothing on the outfit worn by the hammer thrower in this 1887 collotype by Eadweard Muybridge, the British-born photographer who spent his life (1830-1904) studying human and animal motion. This and other work celebrating the rebirth of the Olympics in 1896 is on exhibit at the Laurence Miller Gallery in New York City.
