This is one of our boys. I think he looks like royalty in this shot. I'm sure he thinks so.
George was one of four kittens born on our property to a feral mother. The mom took the kittens off when they were about three days old, evidently because she was nervous about our having found them living under a tarp.
We left food out for the mom and weeks later she brought the kittens back. We trapped them when they were almost 10 weeks old, which is pretty late for socializing ferals. I worked with them for many weeks to get them over their fear of people. We adopted out one, and six years later we still have George and two of his sisters. He's a big boy now at about 13 pounds. He was 11 months old in this shot.
George and his siblings got me involved in cat rescue work.

George was (and still is) a beautiful cat. And he is very smart. I wanted to keep him, but since he was one of the first ferals ready to go, I had to give him away when I found a good home for one. George's owners are currently on holidays and I am looking after him for them (not at my home!).
George is related somehow to most of the other feral cats I've rescued. He is likely a litter mate to CC, and maybe to MC and Lucy too. If not litter mate, he is a cousin. He is probably a cousin to Smokey, as Smokey was a few weeks younger than the main group I rescued that year.
This is where it all started.
Photos from George Floyd Square, an area in Minneapolis that has been set off as both a memorial to George Floyd and to bring attention to police violence against people of color, especially African Americans. It is an autonomous zone that at least for now does not allow any police into the several block area. For those outside the US, George Floyd was shopping at Cup Food and accused of passing a counterfeit bill and the police were called. The police wrestled him to the ground and one, Derek Chauvin, kneeled on his back for almost 8 minutes despite him crying out "I can't breathe", aided by two other officers at the scene and videotaped in film that that was seen around the world.
This touched off what started as peaceful protests in the US that became violent and spread across the county and a movement that is still growing strong. Looking back, much of the violence, at least in Minneapolis, was started not by the Black Lives Protesters, but by the same element that started the Capitol Insurrection in Washington DC and was their attempt to sow discord and discredit the BLM movement. The police over-reacted viewing the protests not as protest against injustice but against them personally and against civil order.
Minneapolis is still physically scarred by the violence, much of it in impoverishes neighborhoods that have not rebuilt and boards still up on stores in my neighborhood at the edge of the violence. The city is now bracing for the trial of Derek Chauvin that begins this week in hopes of getting some justice for George Floyd, but pessimism given the results in other trials where society attempted to hold police responsible for similar acts.

Georges Rodenbach (Tournai, 16 July 1855 - Paris, 25 December 1898) was a French-speaking Belgian writer and poet. Georges Rodenbach was one of the first prominent Belgian men of letters to embrace French symbolist poetry. He as a good friend of Stéphane Mallarmé. Although he already died at the age of forty-three, Georges Rodenbach occupies a prominent place in the history of international symbolism, with his poetry collections Le Règne du Silence (1891), Les Vies encloses (1896), Le Miroir du ciel natal (1898), and his well-known novel Bruges-la-Morte (1892).
Bruges-la-Morte was adapted to film as Grezy/Daydreams (Yevgeni Bauer, 1915), Más allá del olvido (Hugo del Carril, 1956), the low budget-film Bruges-la-Morte (Ronald Chase, 1978), and Brugge, die stille (Roland Verhavert, 1981), while it also inspired Pierre Boileau and Thomas Narcejac for their novel D'Entre Les Morts, which was the basis for Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo (1958). Erich Wolfgang Korngold transformed the novel into the opera Die tote Stadt (1920), of which also several TV registrations exist. The aria Glück das mir verblieb/ Marietta's Song from this opera has been used in various films such as The Big Lebowski (Joel and Ethan Coen, 1998). Chase's film had a high-res HD restoration in 2020, see ronaldchaseart.com/brugeslamorte-1978-feature.

I'm taking a break from my Hollywood Cemetery series to post a photo that more closely resembles current weather conditions -- i.e., overcast and rather cool (high of 44, compared to the average for the date, 61). The even light of the overcast day allowed me to get my best photo up to that time of the front of this east-facing house. The house at the right is the Elkanah Deane House; the smaller building between the Wythe and Deane houses is the Wythe kitchen. The mismatched bricks around the window above the Wythe House door were used in the restoration, to fill in where an early 20th-century owner had installed a double door to provide access to a porch that had been added to the front.
George Wythe (pronounced With) was an important figure in colonial America; his 1806 funeral in Richmond (where he had moved in 1791 to take a judgeship) is reported to have been the largest in Virginia up to that time. He is buried at St. John's Church in Richmond, site of Patrick Henry's 1775 "liberty or death" speech. Quoting online Colonial Williamsburg materials: "One of the most influential men of the Revolutionary era, George Wythe ranks among colonial America’s finest lawyers, legal scholars, and teachers. Among the young men Wythe trained in the law were Thomas Jefferson, St. George Tucker, and John Marshall. In 1779, Wythe joined the College of William & Mary faculty to become the first law professor in the United States." He was a delegate to the Continental Congress and the first Virginian to sign the Declaration of Independence. The house was designed by Wythe's father-in-law Richard Taliaferro (pronounced as if spelled Tolliver) in the early 1750s and was occupied by Wythe in the 1755-91 period; it served as George Washington's headquarters just before the siege of Yorktown near the end of the Revolutionary War. The George Wythe House is part of the Williamsburg Historic District, which was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1960 and placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966 (#66000925); in addition, the Wythe House was separately designated a National Historic Landmark and placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970 (#70000866). Two other Williamsburg buildings share the distinction of separate entries on these two historic lists: Bruton Parish Church and Peyton Randolph House.

Happy Families
// These five beings have been there with me since I was a child. I saw them on my shelf and thought it would make a great photo and it's very nostalgic. George is the newbie, top left. I want to have a big collection of porcelain dolls and old barbie dolls. I want to keep these buddies until I have my own children so they can have them because believe it or not - everything is sentimental to me, including these guys.

(Edited to add answer key)
I shot the same scene with eight different imaging devices. Which device shot George best?
Each photo was shot in full-auto mode and I made no adjustments to the image afterward. All I did was crop and scale each one to a size of 2048 pixels to facilitate your side-by-side comparison. Go ahead and click through to the full-size version if y'like.
To give you some idea of the detail in the image, I've also compiled a lightbox of thumbnails, clipped from the same region of the image at the file's full original resolution (and then scaled to common dimensions).
What to you think? Leave your comments in the comments. I'll post the "answer key" after these have been online for a bit.

Handsome and athletic Georges Marchal (1920-1997) was one of the main lead actors in the French cinema of the 1950s, together with Jean Marais. He starred in several costume dramas and Swashbucklers and later appeared in films of Luis Buñuel.
Georges Marchal was born as Georges Louis Lucot in Nancy, France, in 1920. In Paris, he followed secondary school, and then took classes in ballet and acrobatics. Many odd jobs followed, like courier, docker at the Les Halles market, and assistant at the Medrano circus. He enrolled in the course of Ms. Calvi, and was hired at the Théâtre du Palais-Royal for the play 'Permission de détente' (Permission to relax) by Yves Mirande. At 20, he joined the Comédie-Française to play in 'Iphigénie et Psyché' (Iphigenia and Psyche). He soon also played in boulevard comedies. His film career started with the comedy Fausse alerte/The French Way (Jacques de Baroncelli, Bernard Dalban, 1940) starring Josephine Baker, which was only released in 1945. During the Occupation days, he was noted in Lumière d'été/Summer Light (Jean Grémillon, 1943) opposite Madeleine Renaud, Vautrin/Vautrin The Thief (Pierre Billon, 1943) with Michel Simon, and after the war, in Au grand balcon/The Grand Terrace (Henri Decoin, 1949) with Pierre Fresnay, about the heroic pilots who struggled, suffered and often died to carry the mail. He became the typical Jeune Premier of the French post-war cinema and posed as a rival of Jean Marais although he didn’t reach the same level. In 1951, he assumed the title role in Il naufrago del Pacifico/Robinson Crusoe (Jeff Musso, 1951), and for Sacha Guitry, he played the young Louis XIV in the star-studded Si Versailles m'était conté/Affairs of Versailles (Sacha Guitry, 1953). In 1951, he married actress Dany Robin. They were both young, beautiful, adored, and preserved their privacy in a house of Montfort l'Amaury. They made six films together, including La Voyageuse Inattendue/The Unexpected Voyager (Jean Stelli, 1949), based on an old script by Billy Wilder, and the comedy Jupiter (Gilles Grangier, 1952). Georges’ talent as a stuntman did wonders for his parts in costume films and swashbucklers such as Messalina (Carmine Gallone, 1952) with Maria Félix, Teodora, imperatrice di Bisanzio/Theodora, Slave Empress (Riccardo Freda, 1954) with Gianna Maria Canale, and Les trois mousquetaires/The Three Musketeers (André Hunebelle, 1953) in which he featured as D'Artagnan.
The arrival of the Nouvelle Vague (New Wave) sounded like the death knell for Georges Marchal. He moved to Italy to continue his career. With his muscular body, he was an ideal hero for the Peplum films (the Italian sword and sandal epics). He appeared in a dozen of them, including Nel Segno Di Roma/Sheba and the Gladiator (Guido Brignone - and uncredited Riccardo Freda and Michelangelo Antonioni, 1958) with Anita Ekberg, Le legioni di Cleopatra/Legions of the Nile (Vittorio Cottafavi, 1959) with Linda Cristal, and Sergio Leone's first solo directorial effort, Il colosso di Rodi/The Colossus of Rhodes (Sergio Leone, 1961) with Rory Calhoun. Marchal was a close friend of Luis Buñuel and also one of his preferred actors. Marchal starred in four of his films: Cela s'appelle l'aurore/That is the Dawn (1955) with Lucia Bosé, La mort en ce jardin/Death in the Garden (1956) with Simone Signoret, Belle de jour/Beauty of the Day (1967) with Catherine Deneuve, and La voie lactee/The Milky Way (1969) with Laurent Terzieff. Other interesting films he appeared in were the anthology film Guerre secrète/The Dirty Game (Terence Young, Christian Jaque, Carlo Lizzani, Werner Klinger, 1965) with Robert Ryan, the Romanian historical epic Dacii/The Dacians (Sergiu Nicolaescu, 1967) with Pierre Brice, Faustine et le bel été/Faustine and the Beautiful Summer (Nina Companeez, 1972) and Les Enfants du placard/The Closet Children (Benoît Jacquot, 1977) with Lou Castel. During the 1970s, he focussed on television and appeared in Quentin Durward (Gilles Grangier, 1971), as Philip IV the Fair in Les rois maudits/The Accursed Kings (Claude Barma, 1972), Gaston Phébus (Bernard Borderie, 1977), and Les grandes familles/The Great Families (Edouard Molinaro, 1988) with Michel Piccoli. He played a seductive older man in three TV-films based on the legendary Claudine novels by Colette, Claudine à Paris/Claudine in Paris (1978), Claudine en ménage/Pauline Engaged (1978) and Claudine s'en va/Claudine Goes (1978), all starring Marie-Hélène Breillat and directed by Edouard Molinaro. He also played Claude Jade's father in the fine TV Mini-series L'Île aux trente cercueils/The Island of Thirty Coffins (Marcel Cravenne, 1979). He retired in 1989. His last film appearance had been as General Keller in L'Honneur d'un capitaine/A Captain’s Honour (Pierre Schoendoerffer, 1982) about the French army's behaviour in Algeria. Georges Marchal died in 1997 in Maurens, France, following a long illness. He was married to Dany Robin from 1951 till their much-publicised divorce in 1969. He remarried in 1983 to Michele Heyberger.
