The first exhibition that you encounter on the ground floor is one of sports photography. So many iconic images from every sort of sport and venue taken by Neil Leifer. One of the things that you quickly realize about this "newseum," a high premium is placed on videography. Accompanying this exhibit was an extraordinary video looped interview with Mr. Leifer in which he himself talks about the images and his career as a sports photographer. I realized then that this was not going to be an in and out visit, nor likely one where I could fully experience all that this place has to offer.
He called this his greatest photograph, and honestly how could you disagree?
