Max Gray is a superb young photographer working in Washington Grove, Maryland. He works primarily in landscape and occasional portraiture. More photographs, and more on Max, here.

We'll be featuring more work by Max Gray in the future. Max uses the great Mr. Lee CatCam exclusively.

Apologies for the long gap in posting! As I predicted, the authorities couldn't make the charges stick.

A nightclub or variety stage act named "A Night in the Arctic". The airship "Norge", commanded by Roald Amundsen and Umberto Nobile overflew the North Pole on May 12, 1926. The aircraft in this image represents Commander Richard Byrd's Fokker trimotor "Josephine Ford". Byrd and Floyd Bennett flew over the Pole on May 9, 1926, although some question whether or not they actually reached the Pole.

A Lady and her Steam Shovel, c.1925

2007-10-10T08:40:00.000-04:00

Well, it was the Jazz Age, and we all did the craziest things. All of the other flappers had neat little roadsters - Stutz Speedsters and the like. And Dorothy - being Dorothy - just had to drive something different, didn't she? And the moment she saw this darling Bucyrus Model 20B, she just knew she had to have it - those treads and chains and things - just so terribly chic, you know. Of course, it did have some teensy disadvantages. For example, a jaunt over to the country club took three days. And there was that dreadful little Irishman she had to hire to shovel coal and tend the boiler and that sort of thing. But it was such fun!! I'll never forget the wild party we had in the bucket on the night that Sacco and Vanzetti were executed...

Chatham Islanders c.1860

2007-10-08T11:09:00.000-04:00

The inhabitants of the Chatham Islands, the Moriori, had dwindled to about 100 in 1860 due to massacres by Maori warriors, transported from New Zealand on British vessels in 1835. A survivor recalled:

[The Maori] commenced to kill us like sheep.... [We] were terrified, fled to the bush, concealed ourselves in holes underground, and in any place to escape our enemies. It was of no avail; we were discovered and killed - men, women and children indiscriminately". A Maori conqueror justified their actions as follows: "We took possession... in accordance with our customs and we caught all the people. Not one escaped...." From Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies", p. 53, Jared Diamond, 1997, New York, W.W. Norton. Via Wikipedia.
