Happy (belated) Birthday, Eadweard!

Muybridge sequence of galloping horseYesterday (how did I miss it?) was the birthday of Eadweard Muybridge. He was not only a talented photographer, but he created a camera with such a fast shutter speed that he was able to capture the motion of a galloping horse - and change the way we looked at it forever.

hat tip to Carl Zimmer at the Loom, who figured out to make this a movie. check it out
