Shedding Light On The Moon

In 1962, Mercury astronaut John Glenn bought a cheap 35mm camera at a Cocoa Beach, Fla., drug store, because he alone thought America’s first orbital spaceflight deserved to be documented with still images. Photographer Michael Light shares this bit of information in his project Full Moon. Over time, Light explains, NASA recognized the value of in-flight photography and invested in medium-format Hasselblad cameras for the Gemini program — arguably the best cameras out there.

Today, instead of the usual silly dancing gifs, we’re going historical.

In the late 19th century, there was an ongoing debate as to whether or not a horse’s legs all left the ground simultaneously at any point in a gallop. Former Governor, university founder, and Odd Fellow Leland Stanford, along with most painters of the day, argued that they did indeed. So in 1872 he set out to prove it scientifically.

He contracted photographer Eadweard Muybridge who rigged up a series of wires to trigger cameras along the path of a galloping horse. The result was a series of 16 images which definitively proved Stanford right and are now recognized as one of the early forms of video - or - THE WORLD’S FIRST GIF!
