Harold Eugene Edgerton (Papa Flash) Photograph of Bullet Passing Through King of Hearts. Possibly an image taken by one of Edgerton’s students, or perhaps by Papa Flash himself. 8 ½” x 7”. Edgerton was a professor at M.I.T. and the father of strobe photography, turning the stroboscope from an obscure laboratory instrument into a common tool. Using the stroboscope, he was able to take photographs of objects traveling at high speeds.
