Biography
Eadweard Muybridge is 196 years old, an actor, from United Kingdom.
Eadweard Muybridge ( ED-wษrd MY-brij; 9 April 1830 โ 8 May 1904, born Edward James Muggeridge) was an English photographer known for his pioneering work in photographic studies of motion, and early work in motion-picture projection. He adopted the first name "Eadweard" as the original Anglo-Saxon form of "Edward", and the surname "Muybridge", believing it to be similarly archaic.
A photographer in the 19th century American West, he photographed Yosemite, San Francisco, the newly acquired Alaskan Territory, subjects involved in the Modoc War, and lighthouses on the West Coast. He also made his early moving picture studies in California. Born in Kingston upon Thames, Surrey, England, at the age of 20 he emigrated to the United States as a bookseller, first to New York City and then to San Francisco.
In 1860, he planned a return trip to Europe, but suffered serious head injuries en route in a stagecoach crash in Texas.
