“Snow’s use of the dolly shot in ‘Breakfast (Table Top Dolly)’ vividly – and comically – emphasizes the physical effects of the camera’s forward movement, in contrast to the purely optical effects of the zoom in ‘Wavelength.’ In ‘Breakfast,’ the camera dollies toward an untidy still life of breakfast items and slowly pushes the objects along the table until the tip over, tumble off, or are smashed against the wall at the far end of the table.” – William C. Wees, Light Moving in Time
