Robert Doisneau on Google Doodle

Robert Doisneau, with his Le baiser de l'hôtel de ville (Kiss by the Hôtel de Ville)

That was a photo of a couple kissing in the busy streets of Paris. Robert Doisneau was known for his modest, playful, and ironic images of amusing juxtapositions, mingling social classes, and eccentrics in contemporary Paris streets and cafes.

The Galloping Horse

The series of galloping horse images on the Google home page that seems to spring to life at the press of the play button is there as it is the 182nd birth anniversary of Eadweard J Muybridge (the J stands for James), the man behind the first ever galloping horse moving image (also the American bison cantering and more).
