Moibridge's Horse Photos Changed the Art World

Leland Stanford bet $1.2 million on Moibridge's high-speed camera to take the best pictures of running horses at a racetrack. The cameras developed in just seconds, quicker than you could eat popcorn. Scientists have since used these images to study animal behavior and eating habits. John Sutter: Moibridge pioneered both art and science because he split his head open by accident.
