Photo of the Week: Alternate angle II

It's the second installment of Alternate Angle and today we're looking at the following photo:

The subject is the cluster of people in the center but off to the left stands a lone man holding a small black box: a camera. In the next photo we'll se his perspective:
We see the same cluster of people at a slightly different moment in time, with a camera mounted on a tripod to the right. While I'm no expert on early 20th century photography equipment, I reckon that that is a movie camera, possibly the one that filmed the following clip starting at 1:59:

Photo(s) of the Week: Mudbath



Maria to Maria Vishnyakova---

Livadia. 30 August 1913
My dear Mary,
How are you? Thank you very much for the postcard with the picture of the Caucasus. Aunt Olga is leaving us today and Papa with the suite have gone in motors to Bakchisarai to see her off. She greets you very much. I didn't go because yesterday when I got up I had ear-ache. Alexei is well. He has already had 4 mud baths. I took a photo of him when he was being treated with the mud and will glue in an album for you. Alexei's leg stretched 175 degrees and the leg is almost straight.
Goodbye for now. Kissing you firmly,
Maria
