The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure that it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.
[Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms]

crows, larger

Edweard Muybridge is famous for his photographic studies of motion. I knew him for the horse photos (you can find an animation made from his stills by clicking on the highlight in the horse’s eye in the box along the top of the page above, or on the home page), but it was only this evening that I discovered his series of crows (and dancers, and cockatoos, and loin-clothed horseback riders…). Love the crows.
