She and I have no small talk. If we talk, we talk. And so we go for weeks, for months, not talking at all.

Eadweard Muybridge’s Studies in Motion

Before the use of moving pictures became prevalent, a well-know nineteenth century photographer was called upon to settle a bet. The photographer was Eadweard Muybridge and the bet was whether or not all four of a horse’s legs leave the ground when galloping. The inquiry into this investigation was instigated by the then-governor of California and race-horse owner, Leland Stanford who hired Muybridge to settle the bet. Through experimentation using twelve cameras to record a horse’s motion, Muybridge was able to photographically prove that all four of the horse’s legs do indeed leave the ground at once while galloping.

I’ve never been more emotional about any social media post in my entire life

     “In Korea, almost nobody sits directly on the grass—it’s considered dirty. We put down a towel or a newspaper first, or we just squat. Here, people sit everywhere—on the grass, in the hallways, on the ground—and they put their backpacks on the floor in the classroom! I never see that in my country: our parents and teachers tell us from an early age that such things are dirty. In Korea, no one ever enters the house with their shoes on. The first time I sat on the grass here, it felt weird. Now, I don’t care. But after three years in this country, I still hug my backpack if there’s no empty seat next to me to put it on.”
