Our last photo of the day shows a man who might be Muybridge himself swinging a pick.
I have other photos of a fellow who looks just like this guy that are authenticated as such,
but his one, however, is not. Opinions and speculation welcome in the comments
It's really blurry. Without wishing to offend, in other "selfies," Muybridge showed a large penis. While you can't really tell here, this male's pecker is not all that big. And his face does not seem the same as in other pictures.
ReplyDeleteWell, that is a reasonable point of comparison, given that he's naked, lol.
DeleteMuybridge seems to have preferred models with thick, muscular legs...perhaps similar to his own physique (if this picture does show his musculature).
ReplyDeleteYou make a good point about the legs, and that may well have been a selection criterion.
DeleteThe biopic Eadweard is well worth seeing. The actor playing Muybridge, Michael Eklund, does full frontal when recreating this sequence.
ReplyDeleteWow! I didn't know there was a movie. Can I ask where you found it?
