EADWEARD MUYBRIDGE
Eadweard was an English photographer important for his work in photographic studies of motion, his work was used by both artist and scientist. Eadweard did murder the man who had an affair with his wife however he was not convicted. As his reputation grew in the late 1800s former California Governor Leland Stanford made a bet with Eadweard that speculation had raged for years over whether all four hooves of a running horse left the ground at the same time. Stanford believed they did but the motion was too fast for the human eye to detect. Eadweard Muybridge helped answer this by taking photos of a running horse and creating a stop motion action like the picture above and had proven that they do at times have all four hooves off the ground during their running stride.
