Even though we have talked about Edward Muybridge in class before, I stumbled across his work again and was reminded how interesting and groundbreaking his work is. He is most widely known for his stop-motion photography, especially of the running horse or the flying bird. He also photographed humans in motion. What I did not realize was that he was also the artist that photographed Yosemite Valley in black and white. Here are some examples of his work:
Fun fact about Edward Muybridge: According to Wikipedia, he shot and killed his wife’s lover but was acquitted on “justifiable homicide.” Who knew?

Taylor, thanks for posting these beautiful images! These seem especially appropriate while we’re working on our sequential, storytelling images. I love the horse race; each shot within the series is incredible, as well as the overall picture!

I agree with Jennie this are very beautiful and kind elegant picks…. especially the one with women dance you can almost say, they where taking from a video of her and made in to a collage storyboard.
