Muybridge

Muybridge would capture motion in his photos and would show different angles of the motion taking place to be studied. He was able to take photos of anything in motion within a fraction of a second. They are significant because it was the first time someone was able to capture motion like that and it led to the development of the motion picture. I find it interesting on how disturbed he seems, shooting the person his wife had an affair with, then leaving his child to be an orphan, and then putting his models in uncomfortable circumstances/positions. I find this interesting because it sounds unusual for someone who seems so mentally disturbed to be revolutionary in his field.
