The subjects represented in this collection range in dimension from the spash of a milk drop to the explosion of an atomic bomb. There are a number of studies of people in motion, including athletes from a variety of sports such as archery, diving, fencing, football, golf, pole vaulting, and tennis. Among the other subjects depicted, both animate and inanimate, are birds, bullets, and broken glass. About a third of the prints are multiple exposures showing successive phases of motion. The rest have been made from single exposures of as little as 1/100,000,000 of a second. Among these images are three silhouettes. There is also a print produced from a segment of high-speed motion picture film.
