A Gallery For Fine Photography, 322 Royal Street, 
presents 
Stopping Time, 
the original photographs of 
Dr. Harold E. Edgerton
December 26, 1996 through January 31, 1997

Dr. Harold E. Edgerton (1903 - 1990), professor at MIT and inventor of the electronic flash, devoted his career to recording what the unaided eye cannot see.  His photographs illustrate such moments as: a bullet seen the instant it explodes through an apple, a perfect coronet formed by a 
milk-drop splash, and a football dented by the contact of Wes FeslerÕs booted foot. These images have become classics of modern art and science.  
Dr. Edgerton was the first to take high-speed color photographs and was a pioneer of multiflash and microsecond imagery, which he used to take detailed photographs of hummingbirds in motion, as well as the progression of athletesÕ movements.  These wondrous images have shown us things we were never able to see before, in photographs that are as remarkable for their precision as for their beauty.
