He set trip wires attached to the shutters of dozen cameras along a race track to prove his point.

Not content to leave it at that, he continued to examine other phenomena with his new technique. In particular, he was fascinated by running water, developing hundreds of freeze-frame stills of water cascading.

Though photo-realism leaves me cold, these paintings remind me of Muybridge’s groundbreaking work in Photography
