Throwing?


This is supposed to be Muybridge himself throwing a disc underhanded.
He looks for all the world to me like he's just walking along.

  1. He is just walking along. This is from Animal Locomotion plate 519. In the Catalogue of Plates it is called "A, throwing disk; B, ascending step; C, walking." The plate contains three separate sequences of photos, and these two are from the third sequence, "walking." The model is listed as model #95, which has been identified as Muybridge himself.

  2. Isn't it cool that he hung his own out in addition to asking other men to do so?
