	Eadweard Muybridge
		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.
		Muybridge was born Edward James Muggeridge at Kingston-on-Thames, England.
		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.

		Biography: Edward James Muggeridge was born in Kingston on Thames, and it is said that because this area is associated with the coronation of Saxon kings, he took on a name closely resembling (as he saw it) the Anglo Saxon equivalent.
		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.
		Whilst working on this project Muybridge also undertook other assignments, and it was on his return from one of these, we are told, that he became aware that his wife was having an affair with another soldier.

	About Eadweard Muybridge
		Edward James Muggeridge was born on April 9, 1830 in Kingston-upon -Thames, England.
		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'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).

		Muybridge continued his series photography, expanding the cameras to 24 and improving shutter speed with a system of magnetic releases that gave an exposure every 2/1,000 of a second.
		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.

	Who was Muybridge (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Muybridge took normal photography and transcended it by using multiple still frame cameras to capture a series of photos that, when viewed in sequence, suggest motion.
		Muybridge was initially interested in capturing the movement of a running horse.
		Muybridge was primarily interested in the artistic ramifications of this discovery, however, Scientific American realized the scientific utility of the sequences and featured his work in the October 19, 1878 issue.

	The American Experience \| The Wizard of Photography \| People & Events \| Photography Becomes a Profession
		Born Edward Muggeridge on April 9, 1830, in Kingston-on-Thames, Muybridge sailed for America in 1852 on the scent of California gold and worked a string of obscure jobs until 1860, when he was injured in a stagecoach accident and had to return to England.
		Muybridge was a capable expeditionary photographer, but if it hadn't been for his association with Leland Stanford, he probably would not be remembered today.
		In pursuit of the answer (which was yes), Muybridge developed a camera with a faster shutter speed, which not only captured a horse in motion but allowed him to use photography as a basis for the study of living motion and, from there, to invent the zoopraxiscope: an early motion-picture device.

		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.

	Freeze Frame
		Hired by railroad baron Leland Stanford in 1872, Muybridge used photography to prove that there was a moment in a horse’s gallop when all four hooves were off the ground at once.
		Although Eadweard Muybridge thought of himself primarily as an artist, he encouraged the aura of scientific investigation that surrounded his project at the University of Pennsylvania.
		In pursuit of his mission to illustrate all aspects of human movement, Muybridge frequently used models who were nude, seminude, or draped in a gauzy fabric.

	Eadweard Muybridge, Before and After Science
		Muybridge accepted the commission, beginning ten years of sometimes turbulent collaboration between the two men.
		In the course of their association, Muybridge not only photographed horses at full gallop, proving that they lift all four legs off the ground at a single point in their stride, he also investigated the movements of many different animals, from dogs to elephants, and from baboons to humans.
		Muybridge’s photographs of motion were revolutionary, but they represent only half the story of his artistic development.

	Indelible Images - Man of Action (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Eadweard Muybridge, an eccentric Englishman and photographer who not long before had murdered his wife's lover, claimed to be able to photograph a horse running at full speed—a feat considered impossible with the era's balky cameras, which had wooden shutters and insensitive glass-plate negatives.
		That invention is the main source of the claim that Muybridge is the father of the motion picture.
		Muybridge, who adopted the Anglo-Saxon spelling of his first name, died in Kingston-on-Thames in 1904 at age 73, leaving a modest estate of some 3,000 pounds.

		He hired Muybridge to settle the bet,and in 1877 Muybridge's pictures, which recorded the horse's motion insequential frames, proved Stanford right.
		(The work took 5 years becauseit was interrupted while Muybridge was tried and acquitted for the murderof his wife's lover.) In 1879, Muybridge invented the zoopraxiscope, amachine that reconstructed motion from his photographs and a forerunner ofcinematography.
		After a European tour, during which his work was acclaimedby artists and scientists alike, he continued (1884-86) his photographicmotion studies; Animal Locomotion (1887), containing 781 groups ofsequential frames, was the first of several such publications, which alsoincluded The Human Figure in Motion (1901).

		What particularly caught my attention at the time, and continues to intrigue me, is what one might call a coincidence of major temporal revolutions inscribed on the equine body—one epistemological and the other ontological.
		Concurrent with Muybridge's creation of the sequential photograph of the horse in motion was the emergence of the paradigmatic status of the horse within evolutionary theory, since its development from the eohippus to modern type could be traced in the fossil record.
		In terms of epistemology, the flying gallop, that time-honored logo for equine speed in use from the earliest days of representation, from sixth-century Persian plates to the time of Géricault, and still later in the works of Manet and Degas a more scientifically based, if less aesthetically and expressively satisfying, version of the speeding horse.

	Basil's Dancers - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM
		Basil Watson's current exhibition, entitled The Journey Continues, at the Mutual Life Gallery combines two of the sculptor's main artistic preoccupations: the joy and inherent freedom in movement, particularly athletics and dance, and the nude female form.
		The figures (the bronzes at least)are rendered unabashedly yet unself-consciously nude(somewhat reminiscent of Edward Muybridge's seminal nude photo studies), while in the drawings the figure(s) is apparently seeking some level of endorsement or support from the viewer.
		This is but one of the contrasts that makes this latest Basil Watson outing a meaningful and accomplished examination of the human form (particularly female) and the freedom and joy inherent in movement.
