  • 3 hours to become a better photographer

    In our culture of fast-food restaurants, jet planes and instant messaging, we have no longer any time left. Anyway, during the time of a weekend afternoon, you can become a better photographer.

    Eadweard Muybridge was an English photographer famous for his animated photographs which pioneered the observation of animal movement. This was really a photography marvel in a time when video was not an integrated feature of photo cameras. Cassandra C.
