Horse Airborne

Taken by Eadweard Muybridge in 1887

Thus he proved that when horses run there is an instant when all 4 hooves are in the air.

For a fascinating look at Muybridge's photographs (currently exhibited at San Francisco's Moma), this times and life, see the link here.

Talking to a Publisher and Finding a Kindred Spirit

Yesterday I had a meeting, but it wasn't like any meeting I've had for years.

The conversation was imbued with insight and intelligence. It was a heart to heart talk. It was heartening.
