A tribute to Eadweard Muybridge who created the first high-speed photo series which can be run together to give the effect of motion pictures.
The motion blur recalls why a high-speed camera is necessary to achieve that. Of course, no shadows can be cast onto the back-grounds. The vertical line stands for a landmark that forces the brain to accept the motion, provided that its displacement is compatible with the image sequence speed.
The aviator-like helmet is a reference to high speed (of the camera, not the horse). Finally, it is refreshing to see some colors that clash with the historical period.
