Faster than the Eye Can See:
Photographs by Harold Edgerton

February 13, 2010 – April 25, 2010

A pioneer of ultra-high-speed photography, Dr. Harold Edgerton changed the way we see. His photographs stop time, allowing us to witness the moment when a drop of milk plops into a glass or a bullet passes through a playing card. Produced with his invention, the strobe light, Edgerton’s photographs are more than demonstrations of technology. These lush and colorful prints will amaze and delight viewers of all ages.
