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.
