A day at the President's Polo Cup Exhibition Match in New Delhi

Eadweard Muybridge was a key component in understanding our roots and how capturing of swift movement on screen (Sallie Gardner at a Gallop, 1878) actually came into being.

My confusions were cleared the day I saw these colossal beasts up, close and personal at the President's Polo Cup Exhibition Match in New Delhi in November. The fluidity in the movement of these gentle giants could easily be compared to running your hands through still waters.
