How can we see more or see in a different way?
We use photography in many ways to extend our sense of vision. We can slow things down (stop a balloon in mid-pop) and speed them up (see grass grow) with special techniques in photography. We can see things very far away, very close up and even at night with special lenses, special film, and special sensors. Photographs become records of what we have seen and can be used as references in the future. Artists also see and communicate through photography, and they often "do science" in the process of discovering new things or using special techniques.

Photographs were used by (first name?) Muybridge to study humans and other animals in motion. These photos from a series of cameras lined up along the path of the horse, and his investigations of motion, were done in (year?) How could you record the motion of living things, or nonliving things, today? What motions might be interesting to record in a mobility study? How would you go about it?
