Biography of Eadweard Muybridge
Edward James Muggeridge was born on April 9, 1830 to John and Susan Muggeridge of Kingston upon Thames, England. When Muybridge was 20, he was an immigrant from England. He was a bookseller in New York then went to San Fransisco to start photography in 1855. Then at that time, he changed his name as Muybridge. He produced a wide array of panoramic landscape photographs, most
famously of Yosemite Valley, and traveled to Alaska to photograph the
Tlingit people. During a break from his photographic research in the 1870s, Muybridge
took several photographic expeditions in and around California. On one
of these, his wife, Flora, had an affair with Major Harry Larkyns, a
drama critic. Believing that Larkyns had fathered the couple's recently
born son, Muybridge tracked him down, and shot and killed him. At his
trial for murder in 1875, several witnesses testified that Muybridge's
personality had changed after the accident.
I like this picture of his because it's cool that he showed me how to twirl around as a ballerina.
I like this one because like deer and that I always want to know how they move fast when something comes after them.
I like this picture because this reminds me when I first tried thin, I landed pretty well when I just tried doing this in track.
