Book Synopsis Moments Captured by : Robert J. Seidman
Book excerpt: Frustrated by his inability to harness the frenetic energy of a country on the brink of change, photographer Eadweard Muybridge determines to pioneer a technology that will allow cameras to catch reality down to its most fleeting moments. But it isn't until he falls in love with Holly Hughes, a daring young dancer determined to bring women's rights to the forefront of American politics, that his desire to improve the instrument finds its animating reason: to catch Holly's beauty in motion. Inexorably, she becomes his obsession - leading to a love affair that is threatened by a rival's desire for Muybridge's technological expertise.
