L’École Émile Cohl à Lyon est une école de dessin engagée. Sa création, en 1984, est liée à cet acte militant : lutter contre la disparition progressive, dans l’enseignement artistique, de la représentation du monde par le dessin. Si les nouveaux médias successifs, de la photographie à internet, ont d’abord semblé précipiter la chute du dessin, ils proposent aujourd’hui des supports d’expression innovants qui lui redonnent ses lettres de noblesse.
Il était indispensable de remettre l’enseignement du dessin à l’honneur. Depuis plus de trente ans en France et à Lyon, où elle s’est installée, l’École Émile Cohl fait figure de pionnière dans ce domaine.
Choisir de se former à l’École Émile Cohl, c’est apprendre à maîtriser son regard au cours des trois premières années de la formation initiale, qu’on fera suivre en 4e et 5e année par une spécialisation professionnelle en BD, en illustration, en cinéma d’animation 2D/3D, enjeu vidéo (concept art, character design, etc.), en dessin 3D, en livre numérique ou infographie multimédia.
L’école organise aussi des cours du soir et des stages (bande dessinée, dessin animé, aquarelle, sculpture, carnet de voyage, etc.) pour tous, sans niveau prérequis. Ils s’adressent à toute personne désireuse de s’initier ou de se perfectionner en dessin.
Elle s’adresse également aux professionnels de l’image. Pour eux, nous avons mis au point en 2017 une nouvelle offre de formation continue.
The Émile Cohl School in Lyon is an engaged drawing school. Its creation, in 1984, is linked to this militant act: to fight against the progressive disappearance, in the artistic teaching, of the representation of the world by the drawing. If the new media, Internet photography, at first seemed to precipitate the fall of the drawing, they now offer innovative expression media that restore its credentials.
It was essential to put the teaching of drawing in the spotlight. For more than thirty years in France and Lyon, where she settled, École Émile Cohl is a pioneer in this field.
Choosing to train at Émile Cohl School is to learn how to master one's eyes during the first three years of the initial training, which will be followed in the 4th and 5th year by a professional specialization in comics, illustration, in 2D / 3D animation cinema, video games (concept art, character design, etc.), 3D drawing, digital books or multimedia infographics.
The school also organizes evening classes and workshops (comics, cartoons, watercolors, sculptures, travel diaries, etc.) for all, without any prerequisite level. They are addressed to anyone wishing to learn or improve in drawing.
It is also aimed at image professionals. For them,, we have developed in 2017 a new training offer.
"When resting the supporting foot is set below the center of gravity. This position stresses the lateral ligaments of both knee and intertarsal joints but these ligaments are well developed in birds. ... A vertically aligned leg as is the case during bipedal standing is followed by an instable body. This means that the unipedal stance of birds should not need much muscular energy expenditure.
Most birds stand or sleep on one leg without having specializations in their legs. The leg is positioned in such a way that the body is well balanced without much additional muscle activity. Most long-legged birds like flamingos and storks have specializations in the hip joint and intertarsal joint which help stabilizing a body which is far from the ground. So far an often cited snapping mechanism has been demonstrated convincingly only in the ostrich, a long-legged bird who does not stand on one leg. Whether there is a similar mechanism in long-legged birds standing on one leg is unclear. It seems that the extra-labyrinthine sense organ of equilibrium in the lumbosacral vertebral canal plays an important role in keeping balance when standing on one leg. This sense organ may even be a prerequisite for easily standing on one leg.
A useful function of standing on one foot with hiding the non-feathered part in the plumage is to reduce heat loss. Such a function is supported by recent quantitative behavioral observations. As to standing on one foot while preening or without hiding one foot in the plumage one might argue that the ability to stand easily on one foot is used even when there is no need for a reduction in heat loss, i.e. thermoregulation is probably an important but perhaps not the only function of standing on one leg. "
The tendency for air parcels to accelerate when they are displaced from their original position; especially, the tendency to accelerate upward after being lifted. Instability is a prerequisite for severe weather - the greater the instability, the greater the potential for severe thunderstorms.

Happy New Year, everyone!
Given the dreadful world events during 2022, plus a few personal challenges, I admit that it hasn’t always been easy for me to focus on the light, and on all the joyful things that did in fact happen this past year.
But these last few days, the last days of 2022, I’ve been feeling quite laid back about it all. At least in regards to my personal life. I’m still here - that’s a feat in itself! And I did OK this past year. Heck, in some cases I even did marvelously (which puts a little smile on my face). And it’s over now, anyway, this old year. Nothing more to do about it, nothing I can change. There’s a lot to learn from it though, and hopefully my experiences will help me to grow and develop further in 2023.
New Year’s wishes? Well, on a personal level, it would be to keep my home, have food on the table and enjoy good health. That is what I need to continue pursuing fine art photography - my big passion in life. With those prerequisites in place, it’s entirely up to me, to my dedication and determination, to keep on growing as a visual storyteller.
And maybe - so I like to believe - maybe it’s also up to a wee bit magic. ;)
Wishing all of you a joyous ending of 2022 and a bright start on the creative photography year of 2023!

I made this just for me. I started it almost one year ago. It is throw sized for the couch (56" x 72"). This has been a very good way for me to "catalog" a ton of prints that I love. There are also some uglies thrown in for good measure. At one point I thought I would regret doing that, but I don't.
Chawne/Cauchy09 posted one of these a while back and that lit the fire.
I am making another scrappy top for Kelly's My Precious QAL using 5 inch squares of fabric that I love. (My prerequisite for choosing fabric for that quilt is that I have to LOVE every square I use.) I want to make that quilt the same size as this one. So, the minimalist in me is telling me that I should just use both tops and make one reversible quilt. But the quilter in me is telling me to make two separate "companion" quilts. Not sure. Right now, the minimalist is winning out.
A conversion is the starting point of every spiritual journey. It involves a break with the life lived up to that point; it is a prerequisite for entering the kingdom: “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent, and believe in the gospel” (Mk 1: 15). It presupposes also, and above all, that one decides to set out on a new path: “Sell all that you have… and come, follow me” (Lk 18: 22). 2 Without this second aspect the break would lack the focus that a fixed horizon provides and would ultimately be deprived of meaning.
Because of this second aspect a conversion is not something that is done once and for all. It entails a development, even a painful one, that is not without uncertainties, doubts, and temptations to turn back on the road that has been traveled. The experience of the Jewish people after departure from Egypt is still prototypical here. Fidelity to the word of God implies a permanent conversion. This is a central theme in the teaching of the prophets.
On the other hand, the path of conversion is not one marked only by stumbling blocks; there is a growth in maturity. Throughout the gospels we are repeatedly told that after some word or deed of Jesus “his disciples believed in him.” The point of this statement is not that up to that point they had no faith, but rather that their faith deepened with the passage of time. To believe in God is more than simply to profess God's existence; it is to enter into communion with God and—the two being inseparable—with our fellow human beings as well. And all this adds up to a process.

An interesting lighting condition in late afternoon. Shooting to a particular spot which was bathed in light. Drove the background to nearly black as if i had used flash.
The sparrow project is an attempt to improve my bird story telling along with honing eye hand/AF coordination skills using a common subject readily available. The subjects must be in motion as a prerequisite since shooting ducks in a barrel is just no sport at all.
I was spurred into the project due to my complete dissatisfaction of prior attempts while on a trip to Tanzania. Learning the delicate balance between shutter speed, proper long lens techniques, iso settings and AF modes is a challenge for something just slightly slower than a speeding bullet.
This will be ongoing to support my next African adventure later this year.

I think that this works well in b&w, as contrast shapes textures.
Actually now realise that I have not done a colour version of this image !!
B&w version of a few images. I have resisted making b&w as I like the subtle tones and colours of the stonework. Further, I don't think that there is enough contrast etc. for b&w. And I did not visualise as being b&w when I took them, which is almost a prerequisite !

Die Noriker-Deckhengste des Tiroler Norikerpferdezuchtverbandes werden auf die Hengstenalm, die Stallbachkaralm in Kirchberg, aufgetrieben.
Nachdem die Deckhengste für die Deckung zahlreicher Stuten gesorgt haben, stehen ihnen zur Erholung eine Sommerfrische auf der Stallbachkaralm zu. Doch bevor es soweit kommt, müssen die Pferde noch um die Rangordnung kämpfen. Dieses beeindruckende Schauspiel ist Voraussetzung für einen entspannten und friedlichen Almsommer.

The Noriker stallions of the Tyrolean Noriker Horse Breeders' Association are rounded up at the Stallion Alpine pasture, the Stallbachkaralm in Kirchberg.
After the stallions have mated numerous mares, they are given a summer retreat on the Stallbachkaralm to relax. But before that happens, the horses have to fight for the hierarchy. This impressive spectacle is a prerequisite for a relaxed and peaceful summer on the alpine pastures.
Size: Length: 58-71cm (22.8-28")
Weight: Female 2280-4200g (80.4-158oz) Male 1620-3000g (57.1-105.8oz)
Average Wing Length (one wing only): Female 47.8cm (18.8") Male 44.8cm (17.6")
Habits: Active mainly at dusk to dawn. Flight is noiseless, with soft wingbeats interrupted by gliding when flying over long distance. Will sometimes soar.
Voice: A deep, monotonous "oohu-oohu-oohu". The female's call is slightly higher than the male's. When threatened, they may bark and growl.
Hunting & Food: Eagle Owls have various hunting techniques, and will take prey on the ground or in full flight. They may hunt in forests, but prefer open spaces.
Eagle Owls will eat almost anything the moves - from beetles to roe deer fawns. The major part of their diet consists of mammals (Voles, rats, mice, foxes, hares etc...), but birds of all kinds are also taken, including crows, ducks, grouse, seabirds, and even other birds of prey (including other owls). Other prey taken include snakes, lizards, frogs, fish, and crabs.
The most common type of prey depends largely on relative availability, but are usually voles and rats. In some coastal areas, they have been known to feed mainly on ducks and seabirds.
Pellets are somewhat compressed, irregularly cylindrical or conical shaped, averaging about 75 x 32 mm (3 x 1.25").
Breeding: The Male and Female duet during courtship, the Male advertising potential breeding sites by scratching a shallow depression at the site and emitting staccato notes and clucking sounds. Favoured nest sites are sheltered cliff ledges, crevices between rocks and cave entrances in cliffs. They will also use abandoned nests of other large birds. If no such sites are available, they may nest on the ground between rocks, under fallen trunks, under a bush, or even at the base of a tree trunk. No nesting material is added. Often several potential depressions are offered to the female, who selects one; this is quite often used again in subsequent years. Very often pairs for life. They are territorial, but territories of neighbouring pairs may partly overlap.
Laying generally begins in late winter, sometimes later. One clutch per year of 1-4 white eggs are laid, measuring 56-73mm x 44.2- 53mm (2.2- 2.9" x 1.7- 2.1") and weighing 75- 80g (2.6- 2.8oz). They are normally laid at 3 days intervals and are incubated by the female alone, starting from the first egg, for 31-36 days. During this time, she is fed at the nest by her mate.
Once hatched, the young are brooded for about 2 weeks; the female stays with them at the nest for 4-5 weeks. For the first 2-3 weeks the male brings food to the nest or deposits it nearby, and the female feeds small pieces the young. At 3 weeks the chicks start to feed themselves and begin to swallow smaller items whole. At 5 weeks the young walk around the nesting area, and at 52 days are able to fly a few metres. They may leave ground nests as early as 22-25 days old, while elevated nests are left at an age of 5-7 weeks.
Fledged young are cared for by both parents for about 20-24 weeks. They become independent between September and November in Europe, and leave the parents' territory (or are driven out by them). At this time the male begins to sing again and inspect potential future nesting sites.
Young reach maturity in the following year, but normally breed when 2-3 years old.
Mortality: Eurasian or Bengal Eagle Owls may live more than 60 years in captivity. In the wild, about 20 years may be the maximum. They have no real natural enemies; electrocution, collision with traffic, and shooting are the main causes of death.
Habitat: Eagle Owls occupy a variety of habitats, from coniferous forests to warm deserts. Rocky landscapes are often favoured. Adequate food supply and nesting sites seem to be the most important prerequisites.
Distribution: North Africa, Europe, Asia, Middle East.

The high-ceilinged basement of a Manhattan, Kansas church was filled with Jews, a hundred or more, sitting at long tables, covered with white paper tablecloths, celebrating a Passover Seder. There was no synagogue here yet, but the small, tight-knit Jewish community found ways to gather. My father Max, a professor at Kansas State University, had started a chapter of Hillel, a Jewish student group. There were other Jewish faculty. There were Jewish soldiers at Fort Riley Army Base, fifteen miles away. There were Jews that owned businesses.
My father led the seder, singing the blessings in Hebrew. He called on others to read passages from the Haggadah, the booklet that guided the service, and told the story of the Jews leaving Egypt for the Promised Land. Carafes of sweet, dark Passover wine were on each table, supplying the prerequisite four glasses. Plates with stacks of matzo were within easy reach. Each person had the first course set before them: a plate with gefilte fish on a leaf of iceberg lettuce, with a dollop of grated horseradish, reddened with beet juice, alongside.
In the adjoining community-size kitchen, my mother, my grandmother, and other women intensively readied the rest of the feast. Whole chickens in huge pots cooked down to soup. More big pots roiled with matzo balls. Every burner with its ring of blue fire was in use. A cloud of steam filled the room. Sweat beaded on the women’s faces. Roasting pans with briskets—a layer of fat jiggling on top—were taken from the oven. Potato kugel, crispy from a basting of schmaltz, was divided into wedges. Tzimmis—baked carrots and prunes. Too little to help, I knew to stay out of the way, thrilled by this behind-the-scene spectacle of food making and celebration.

After a while, you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul. You learn
that love doesn’t mean leaning,
and company doesn’t always mean security. And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts, that presents aren’t promises; and you begin to accept your defeats with your head up, and your eyes ahead - with the grace of woman, not the grief of a child. You learn to build all your roads on today, because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans, and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.
After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. So you plant your own garden, and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
You learn that you really can endure.
That you really are strong.
That you really do have worth.
And you learn,
and you learn,
with every goodbye, you learn. - Veronica Shoffstall

This whole day was amazing! I wanted to do my take on "Cupid, Reimagined" in this shot. I wanted to show Cupid as someone who, instead of shooting lovers down, collects flowers and teaches people to be the right person to themselves first - not a prerequisite for "love" per se, but certainly for a deep and long-standing love.

This mating ritual happens once a year and is a prerequisite to begin the mating process and raising their young. As it is very intense it often is destructive as well. Here you see a pair during the ritual and you see reeds being crushed that happen to be in their way. Even other Grebs have to dive deep or swim out of harms way in order to avoid this intense ritual.
These happen to be Western Grebs as the black on their head
extend below the eye. Should the black on the head not extend below the eye they would be Clark's Grebs.
To many people the term Cattleya is synonymous with orchids. For a long period, a Cattleya corsage was a prerequisite for any special occasion. As a result, the Cattleya has often been called the Queen of Orchids. While no longer the reigning queen of the orchid floral industry it is difficult not to be impressed by a well-flowered Cattleya. No longer limited to white and various shades of lavender and purple, high quality flowers are available in the entire color spectrum (except true blue) and in a wide range of plant sizes. Most Cattleyas and their relatives are easy to grow. With reasonable care, they can be grown anywhere in the world.
To grow well and flower consistently, cattleyas require a good light, preferably in the range from 2,000 to 3,000 foot-candles (65-70% shade), although they will tolerate a great deal more if it is accompanied by sufficient humidity and air movement to keep leaf temperature down.

Stockholmers call their city 'beauty on water'. But despite the well-preserved historic core, Stockholm is no museum piece: it's modern, dynamic and ever-evolving.
Stockholm is scandalously rich. Take Gamla Stan. The city's oldest district is the stuff of storybooks. Complete with prerequisite royal palace, gabled buildings and razor-thin cobblestone streets, it's hands down one of Europe’s most enchanting, impeccably preserved historic centres.
Across the city, world-class museums and galleries inform and provoke, harbouring everything from glittering Viking treasures and an ill-fated warship, to Abba props and subversive contemporary art. It's a stimulating, inspiring mix, where the past, present and future constantly merge, converse and engage.
A male redwinged blackbird never lets down his guard: that was true for this fellow's father, and that's why it's true for him and will be true for his sons.

Germany, Hamburg, the "Elbbrücken" metro station, Elbe bridges station, near the three railway & road bridges called "Elbbrücken" leading over the River-North-Elbe. The metro station consists of two elevated tracks & platforms, opened December 2018 & connected by interlinked skywalk for the Hamburg S-Bahn commuter trains also with two tracks & platforms. The station is the terminus of the U4 line of the metro & will be a new stop for two S-Bahn, commuter trains lines. It was built to facilitate a better accessibility for the new HafenCity quarters of Hamburg from the south.
The curved arches of the futuristic glass roof with 1200 glass panes of 250 kg each & a height of up to almost 16 mtr, the station offers its passengers & visitors a lot of light, wide & many views towards the harbour, the city & the new city quarters, because being located right on the water, the station has an integrated viewing platform. The platform hall is built in a north-south orientation, thus providing the technical prerequisite for an extension of the U4 over the river on the "Kleine Grasbrook" & additional connections.
Due to problems during construction works the opening of the S-Bahn stop, originally planned together with the metro station, has been delayed by estimated 12 to 18 month. Holes for the foundation could not be drilled as planned for the apparent reason that drilling machines partly were confronted by resistance at 10 mtr below the surface. The price tag for the U-Bahn section was lower than projected, down from 178 million Euro to 145 million, including the tracks from the previous station HafenCity Universidad, the cost for the S-Bahn stop is anticipated to rise from 43 to about 60 million Euro.

The tree in the foreground stretches and contorts itself, trying to keep its companions together in a closed bracket. It fails to realize that its efforts are doomed because just a step aside - a slight change in perspective - is enough to expose the illusion.
Where do you strive to bring people or things together - and then maintain that unity? Is it friends, family? Is it success, power, or money? Will a different perspective eventually reveal that accumulating memories, experiences, and knowledge might have been more valuable? Is one a prerequisite for the other?

I was spurred into the project due to my complete dissatisfaction of prior attempts while on a trip to Tanzania. Learning the delicate balance between shutter speed, proper long lens techniques, iso settings and AF modes is a challenge for something just slightly slower than a speeding bullet.
This will be ongoing to support my next African adventure later this year.
No birds were injured in this exchange.

Jan Gossaert, called Mabuse (Maubeuge, 1478 - Antwerp, October 1, 1532) -Madonna with Child (1528 circa) oil on oak wood 56,3 x 42,8 cm - Gemäldegalerie, Berlin
Le immagini della Madonna segnano uno dei punti più alti dell'opera di Gossaert. Se si guarda allo sviluppo del tema pittorico tradizionale della pittura olandese, da van Eyck a Memling, Sittow e Massys a Gossaert, allora si capisce fino a che punto si è riusciti a preservare la tradizione artistica, pur aprendosi e arricchendosi di novità.
Con il capo leggermente chino e con gli occhi bassi, Maria guarda in basso il bambino, che riposa davanti a lei su un parapetto coperto da un tappeto. Maria indossa un mantello rosso e una veste blu, quest'ultima aperta per rivelare il seno destro. I suoi lunghi capelli biondo rossicci, che le ricadono sulle spalle, sono coperti da un velo bianco. Nella mano sinistra tiene un grappolo d'uva rossa, verso la quale Gesù Bambino tende la mano. Questo gesto sembra suscitare lo sguardo pensieroso della Madre di Dio, che sembra consapevole del destino imminente di suo figlio. Nella mano destra tiene una mela, il frutto che ha fatto precipitare la Caduta dalla Grazia, trasformato ora in un prerequisito per la redenzione.
The images of the Madonna mark one of the highest points of Gossaert's work. If one looks at the development of the traditional pictorial theme of Dutch painting, from van Eyck to Memling, Sittow and Massys to Gossaert, then one understands the extent to which the artistic tradition was preserved, while opening up and enriching itself with novelties.
With her head slightly bowed and her eyes downcast, Mary looks down at the child, who is resting before her on a carpet-covered parapet. Mary wears a red cloak and a blue robe, the latter opened to reveal her right breast. Her long reddish-blond hair, which falls to her shoulders, is covered by a white veil. In her left hand she holds a bunch of red grapes, towards which the Child Jesus holds out his hand. This gesture seems to arouse the thoughtful gaze of the Mother of God, who seems aware of the imminent destiny of her son. In her right hand she holds an apple, the fruit that precipitated the Fall from Grace, now transformed into a prerequisite for redemption.

A kitsune may take on human form, an ability learned when it reaches a certain age – usually 100 years. As a common prerequisite for the transformation, the fox must place reeds, a leaf, or a skull over its head. Common forms assumed by kitsune include beautiful women, young girls, elderly men, and less often young boys. These shapes are not limited by the fox's own age or gender, and a kitsune can duplicate the appearance of a specific person. Kitsune are particularly renowned for impersonating beautiful women.
Common belief in medieval Japan was that any woman encountered alone, especially at dusk or night, could be a kitsune. Kitsune-gao ('fox-faced') refers to human females who have a narrow face with close-set eyes, thin eyebrows, and high cheekbones. Traditionally, this facial structure is considered attractive, and some tales ascribe it to foxes in human form. Variants on the theme have the kitsune retain other foxy traits, such as a coating of fine hair, a fox-shaped shadow, or a reflection that shows its true form.
In some stories, kitsune retain – and have difficulty hiding – their tails when they take human form; looking for the tail, perhaps when the fox gets drunk or careless, is a common method of discerning the creature's true nature.

To many people the term Cattleya is synonymous with orchids. For a long period, a Cattleya corsage was a prerequisite for any special occasion and as a result the Cattleya has often been called the Queen of Orchids.
While no longer the reigning queen of the orchid floral industry it is difficult not to be impressed by a well-flowered Cattleya. No longer limited to white and various shades of lavender and purple, high quality flowers are available in the entire color spectrum (except true blue) and in a wide range of plant sizes.
