Andrew Davidhazy has developed photographic applications for strobe photography, high–speed photography, Schlieren and shadowgraph photography, ballistic photography, streak photography and many other kinds of photography. Most importantly he has shared his knowledge, innovation and skills with his students at RIT and with the world who visit his website. Most of his photographic studies reveal something about motion either through novel kinds of images or through novel sequences of images. The sequence shown here reveals the changes a cartridge of shot undergoes as it moves from the gun to its target. In an echo of Zeno’s paradox of the arrow, at each instant Davidhazy’s shot is still and at each instant his shot is moving.
