Eadweard James Muybridge was an English photographer who pioneered photographic studies of motion and in motion-picture projection. Muybridge was the inspiration for the umbrellas sculpture by Benjy Young.  The horses galloping across the top of the pedestal are of extreme significance. His study of horses in motion, sponsored by Leland Stanford, was instrumental in ensuring him a spot in California history.

This sculpture sits on the Letterman Digital Arts campus and is by Lawrence Noble.
