	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 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).
		Muybridge thought his wife's son had been fathered by Larkyns (although, as an adult, the young man had a remarkable resemblance to Muybridge).

		Edweard James Muybridge occupied the position of ‘Official Photographer for the US Government for the Pacific Coast.’ He was originally from England but currently settled in San Francisco.
		Muybridge essayed the role of analyzer of movement and throughout the many phases of capturing the same photographic plates he did not think to take these successive images and return them to the synthesis of movement.
		Muybridge retired to Kensington-on-Thames and died in 1904 at the age of 74.

		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.

		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.

		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.

		Muybridge had already had a commission to photograph Stanford's house and properties, and was asked to consider the problem of the trotting horse.
		Muybridge was instrumental in technological breakthroughs to make the famous series of photos happen, involving film and shutter speed, as well as the development of a way to trigger a set of cameras at just the right time.

		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.
		Born Edward James Muggeridge at Kingston-on-Thames, England, 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's photos showed conclusively that a horse does in fact have all four legs in the air for a fleeting moment during each repetition of the motions in its gait.

		The largest selection of Muybridge's motion studies of the male and female form ever published in book form, these photos depict 163 different types of action and were taken at speeds ranging up to 1/6000 of a second.

	Popular Science Feature - Muybridge in Kingston
		Delving into the life of Eadweard Muybridge involved frequent visits to the London suburb of Kingston-upon-Thames, where the houses Muybridge was born in and died in both still stand.
		Here, where the young Eadweard would have played among the coal heaps, where the Muggeridge yard would have stretched down to the ugly but practical banks of the suburban Thames, are now two mid-rise blocks of apartments, cutting of the house from the river, dividing the past from the present.
		Now the house Muybridge died in is number 2, yet these houses had bigger numbers that grew rather than reducing as I walked along the road.

	Choreography for Six Unending Seconds, by Deborah Lefkowitz
		Edweard Muybridge, working in the late 1870s, was one of the first to experiment with photographsinseries in order to isolate the individual components of continuous motion.
		Muybridge, however, did not have the technology to project his photographs as "moving pictures," a possibility that emerged only with the development of the motion picture camera two decades later.
		The images for this installation derive from previously shot 16 millimeter film footage, rephotographed frame by frame as 35 millimeter slides, and then projected as movement sequences in four different time frames.

		The Muybridge Festival celebrated the life and works of Edweard Muybridge, one of the finest pioneering Victorian photographers who was born and died in 1904 in Kingston.
		The majority of his highly acclaimed experimental work was completed in America, and Muybridge is credited with being a founding father of modern cinema.
		The specially created films were produced using original glass plates from the Muybridge archive, edited together in a series of inspirational animations made by Kingston University postgraduates combined with footage of contemporary dance artist Bode Lawler.

		The perception of motion when there is no motion is precisely the desire of the mind to understand the realm of the spiritual."
		To this end, Muybridge undertook to produce a series of what he called "motion studies," in which he shot a sequence of photographs spaced in time of some animate phenomenon.
		Muybridge began to travel the world, searching for more subjects for his motion studies.
