Can’t wait to see the Eadweard Muybridge exhibition at Tate Britain (the old Tate):

Look closely at a stunning image of the Yosemite valley with its striking cloud formation; then look at a photograph taken a year later of a lighthouse at Pigeon Point in California – the sky is the same. A stunning image of Lake Tenaya, similarly, has had additional rocks added to its foreground, evident because they’re differently lit.

“He was doing all sorts of things to manipulate his images, from cutting and pasting and different negatives laid in,” said Warrell. “He would also have people touching up his photographs, improving them, painting out imperfections. He was a master of blending different elements.”

Also see “Feet off the ground“.

I’m busy for the next few weekends but the show runs until January. With my usual apology as a non-Londoner for those not living in London….
