Found photo animations
Cassandra Jones takes photographs she finds online and stiches them together to form animations like this Eadweard Muybridge homage:
Really nice. Jones' other work is worth a look as well. (via heading east)
Muybridge, but not by Muybridge
Possible clues have emerged that Eadweard Muybridge may not have taken all the photographs attributed to him.
Naef explains why he thinks that stereographs attributed to Muybridge were in fact taken by Watkins, who sold the negatives to Muybridge. Muybridge then printed and sold them under his own name. "I think from what I've seen and knowing what I know about Muybridge - and I'm not an expert on Watkins by any mean and Weston is - I think yes Muybridge published pictures by other people," Brookman said. "Some by Watkins potentially, but I think Muybridge was also a photographer and a significant photographer."
Tyler Green of Modern Art Notes has a three-part interview with photography curator Weston Naef about why he thinks this is so. Part one is here. (No word yet on why Muybridge has so many unnecessary letters in his name.)
