In The 19th Century
In the 19th century
•New technologies produce sense of time-space compression (instant communication via the telegraph, for example)
•New ways of measuring time and experiencing vision as a result of railway travel
•Beginnings of globalisation
•Invention of photography and then cinema opens up new ways of “slicing” time.
•'discussion of photography is dominated by the concept of time. Photographs appear as devices for stopping time and preserving fragments of the past, like flies in amber’ -Peter Wollen (in “Fire and Ice”)

#Creating photographs with lights.
After getting the settings right I got some images that I am very happy with. To get the subjects in the right place I opened the shutter on about a 10 exposure then moved over to fire the flash manually when the subject was in the correct position.

The way Edward Muybridge photographed.
cool
I didn’t think I could love Edward Muybridge more! And now Mark Rosen and Wendy Marvel took his images and created motorized flip books. There’s a kickstarter campaign so eventually everyone can have their own crank flip book.
I used long exposure and available lights for this shoot and i wanted to capture lots of different movements as much as possible.

here’s my theory
edweard muybridge
was actually a horse
and he made a deal with the other horses that if
that if
when he took that picture of one of them w/ all their feet in the air
that he would give that horse all his horse money
but he never did
and he still gained world wide film fame from it
he was never a horse again
