	Eadweard Muybridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eadweard Muybridge (April 9, 1830 – May 8, 1904) was a British-born photographer, known primarily for his early use of multiple cameras to capture motion, and his zoopraxiscope, a device for projecting motion pictures that pre-dated celluloid film strip still used today.
		Muybridge was born Edward James Muggeridge at Kingston-on-Thames, England.
		Muybridge began to build his reputation in 1867 with photos of Yosemite and San Francisco (many of the Yosemite photographs reproduced the same scenes taken by Watkins).

	Adventures in CyberSound: Muybridge, Eadweard
		Eadweard James Muybridge was born at Kingston-on-Thames in England in 1830.
		Muybridge's experiments in photographing motion began in 1872, when the railroad magnate Leland Stanford hired him to prove that during a particular moment in a trotting horse's gait all four legs are off the ground simultaneously.
		Muybridge was aware of the potential of new photographic markets in America and he considered the possibility of photography as a second career.

		Muybridge's subject was Stanford's horse, and he used a number of exposing apparati, some mechanical and others electronic, usually fired by a trip-wire.
		Muybridge's answer was to build a massive wooden back screen and paint it white, so the contrast of a dark horse against a white background was clearly defined.
		Muybridge came to the Royal Institution in March 1882 to lecture before dignitaries including the Prince of Wales and Alfred Lord Tennyson, using his own complicated projector - the zoopraxiscope - with counter rotating discs.

		The attraction that Muybridge's photographs held was not only due to the novelty that photography enjoyed during the last half of the 19th century, when it seemed charged with the promise of changing the way people saw and understood their world.
		Muybridge was a filmmaker, and his work at the University of Pennsylvania between 1884-85 stands as the earliest example of narrative cinema.
		Unfortunately for Muybridge, he was 20 years ahead of the motion picture technology which would simplify the work he was trying to do with individual images and batteries of cameras.

		The image of motion which Muybridge pioneered was the direct precursor of the moving image; 12 years after Muybridge froze Occident in mid-trot, the Lumière brothers unveiled their Cinematographe, and the picture came to life again.
		Muybridge cannot be held accountable for all of this, of course.
		Muybridge was hired by Stanford (whom Solnit describes as looking like "a badly taxidermized badger") not, as is popularly told, to settle a bet as to whether a trotting horse ever has all four feet off the ground, but out of sheer scientific curiosity.

	About Eadweard Muybridge
		Muybridge was intrigues by the challenge (for up to that time no photographs had been taken at the speed necessary to capture such action) and was beginning to develop a method for approaching the problem when a personal tragedy almost ended his career.
		Muybridge found that public curiosity was sufficient to warrant lectures on his experiments.
		Muybridge's Methods in brief: In an open shed about 120 feet long a background, against which the models moved, was marked off by threads into squares of 5 cm (approximately 2 inches).

		In 1872, businessman and former California governor Leland Stanford hired Muybridge to settle a question (not a bet, as is popularly believed): Stanford claimed, contrary to popular belief, that there was a point in a horse's gallop when all four hooves were off the ground.
		Muybridge noticed how much public attention those pictures drew and invented the Zoopraxiscope, a machine similar to the Zoetrope, but that projected the images so the public could see realistic motion.
		From boxing,to walking down stairs, and even small children walking to their mother were sufficiently interesting to Muybridge to be the subject of his photographs.

		However, Muybridge's main claim to fame (apart from being tried and acquitted for the murder of his wife's lover!) was his exhaustive study of movement.
		In 1878 an article in Scientific American published some of Muybridge's sequences, and suggested that readers might like to cut the pictures out and place them in a "zoetrope" so that the illusion of movement might be re-created.
		Intrigued by this, Muybridge experimented further, and in time invented the zoopraxiscope, an instrument which in turn paved the way for cine photography.

		Born in England, Muybridge was employed by the London Printing and Publishing Co. and went to the U.S. in 1852 as their representative.
		It was a remarkably clear and calm day — a good thing for Muybridge since gusty winds would have played havoc with his oversized glass plate camera and blurred the long exposures it required.
		He was more successful five years later when, employing a battery of cameras with mechanically tripped shutters, he showed clearly the stages of the horse's movement: at top speed, a trotting horse had all four hooves off the ground simultaneously, and in a different configuration from that of a galloping horse.
