The self portrait at Contemplation Rock Glacier is my favourite...wish I had the guts to do something like that myself. Muybridge is a new find, as I've never studied photography or anything. His story is absolutely amazing. He shot and killed his wife's lover at point blank range after travelling for days to carry out the task, but was acquitted of murder and set free. How he managed that I don't know. But he's an amazing photographer. He was a true pioneer, and I'm addicted.
