Victor Hugo: “The Over-Prudent Sometimes Occur More Damage Than the Audacious”

Artist Unknown, (Navy Drawstring Pants), Computer Graphics, Gay Film Gifs

“Everyone has noticed the taste which cats have for pausing and lounging between the two leaves of a half-shut door. Who is there who has not said to a cat, “Do come in!” There are men who, when an incident stands half-open before them, have the same tendency to halt in indecision between two resolutions, at the risk of getting crushed through the abrupt closing of the adventure by fate. The over-prudent, cats as they are, and because they are cats, sometimes incur more danger than the audacious.”

― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

Eadweard Muybridge, “Tennis Player”

These images are from pioneering motion-picture maker Eadweard Muybridge’s historically significant ‘Animal Locomotion’ study done in 1877 and 1878. Multiple stop-motion images were taken with cameras and projected for viewing with a zoopraziscope, an early device used in cinematography that predated the perforated flexible film strip. Ten photographs were compiled and put into a zoetrope format to create the movement of the nude man playing tennis.
