Milk Drop into Cup of Milk (3) 1935

Editor: This is Harold Edgerton’s "Milk Drop into Cup of Milk (3)", a gelatin silver print that captures such a fleeting moment! It feels both incredibly scientific and strangely beautiful. What's your take on it? Curator: It's pure magic, isn't it? Edgerton, a true pioneer, froze time. It makes me consider how much we miss in our daily lives. Editor: So true! I hadn’t thought about the element of time like that. Curator: It's a visual poem about impermanence, really. And the crown shape is almost regal! What does it make you think of? Editor: A tiny, temporary kingdom! This makes me see photography with completely new eyes. Curator: Indeed! Art isn't always about the grand gesture; it's often about finding the extraordinary in the ordinary.
