Hi Michael, Thank you for your insight :) I did some research and found some articles and was able to find an image taken by Mr. Charles M. Brown with his Kodak Brownie . From what I can tell from the image its a photograph of the effect of a meteor in flight showing the smoke tail which can be seen that the image was taken after the fact of the meteor in flight in New Mexico, 1933. Click http://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/1934PA.....42..291N on the link and you can see that the photograph used in the paper shows the meteors smoke tail warping due to winds in the upper atmosphere. That would be an indication that the meteor was out of the frame when the photograph was taken. Also reports said that morning the sky had been covered with clouds in New Mexico. But again I see no evidence of a photograph to show the meteor in the frame like how you can see in Lost City :)
Lost City on the other hand is the first meteorite fall to be photographed to actually document the meteor in flight, click on this link and see the difference http://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/L/Lost_City_meteorite.html True there has been many meteors photographed but Lost City is the first meteorite fall to be photographed which shows the meteor in flight. A meteorite fall cant be a meteorite fall till its found? I can see what your comment means, but from the image I saw that Mr. Charles M. Brown took with his Kodak Brownie that morning shows no indication of the meteor, only the effect of what a meteor does in flight aka smoke tail where one can see the tail warping due to upper atmosphere winds. The first meteorite fall to be photographed which shows the meteor in flight is Pribram. I would love to get my hands on that stuff.

However, I think what you meant to say is that it was the first found due to photographing the bolide. The bolide of Pasamonte was photographed in 1933.
