Luftrettung ist ein moderner technologischer Fortschritt, der Kraft und Flexibilität für unglaublich schwierige Aufgaben bietet!Seit etwa 400 v. Chr. spielten chinesische Kinder mit Flugspielzeugen aus Bambus. Erst in den frühen 1480er Jahren entwarf der italienische Universalgelehrte Leonardo da Vinci einen Entwurf für eine Luftschraube, doch 1942 wurde der Sikorsky R-4 der erste Hubschrauber, der in Serienproduktion ging. Starrflügelflugzeuge werden auch als Krankenwagen und Feuerwehrfahrzeuge eingesetzt.Heutzutage sind Rettungsfahrzeuge technologisch hochentwickelt, verfügen über spezielle Ausrüstung und speziell ausgebildete Sanitäter, um Menschen am Leben zu halten, bis sie in einem Krankenhaus behandelt werden können.Wir ehren alle Militärangehörigen am Memorial Day (letzten Montag im Mai) und hoffen, dass Ihnen unsere Auswahl an Fotos gefällt.

Search and rescue is aimed at people and animals in distress and immediate danger.The history of search and rescue goes way back and the principle is mentioned in Psalm 107:19: Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble; He saved them out of their distresses.Even older the Epic of Gilgamesh, an ancient Sumerian epic poem that tells of a cruel and reckless young kings quest to rescue his friend from death. Clay tablet abt 2,100 B.C.Today, rescue organization and vehicles are highly developed with specialized equipment and specially trained but volunteers participate based on the creed and deed of mercy.We honor all rescue workers on this 4th of July 2023 and hope you will enjoy our selection of photos.

«Paul Butler¿s monograph is a wonderful illustration of how a visual reading of McGahern can reveal previously undiscovered aspects of the writer¿s aesthetic approach. ¿The Deep Well of Want¿ of the title is an expression that captures the pain and hurt at the core of the life journey of both writer and photographer. Paul¿s exquisite photos allow us a special entry into ¿McGahern Land¿, whose landscape and people nurtured the writer¿s creative inspiration. This indispensable study will deepen McGahern readers¿ understanding of what lies at the core of his artistic quest.»(Eamon Maher, TU Dublin)This book represents a unique visualisation of the world of Irish writer John McGahern through his words and the imagery of artist Paul Butler. Traumatic events in the lives of both McGahern and Butler shaped their paths, creating a want to write in McGahern and a want to create imagery in Butler. Butler explores the difficult and complex childhood that the two shared, and through a series of beautiful images that he himself has created in McGahern¿s own part of Ireland, he draws parallels between them and, as Eamonn Wall says in his Preface, produces a rich and life-affirming appreciation of literature, art and imagery.

Air rescue is a modern technological advancement that delivers power and flexibility to incredibley difficult tasks!Since around 400 BC, Chinese children have played with bamboo flying toys. It was not until the early 1480s, when Italian polymath Leonardo da Vinci created a design for an "aerial screw", but In 1942, the Sikorsky R-4 became the first helicopter to reach full-scale production. Fixed wing aircraft are also used as ambulances and fire fighting vehicles.Today, rescue vehicles are technologically highly developed with specialized equipment and specially trained paramedics to keep people alive until they can get care at a hospital.We honor all service members on Memorial Day (last Monday of May) and hope you will enjoy our selection of photos.

(Please scroll down for english version) Kathrin Linkersdorffs (*1966) faszinierende großformatigen Arbeiten bewegen sich zwi- schen Kunst und Wissenschaft. Mit Experi- menten, in denen sie das Wesen von Pflanzen und ihren Strukturen und Texturen ergründet, bewegt sie sich an der Schnittstelle zur Bota- nik und Mikrobiologie. So setzt sie gezielt Pro- zesse des Zerfalls in Gang, um die innere Struktur von Blumen und anderen Pflanzen freizulegen. Den sichtbar gewordenen Bauplan hält sie in inszenierten Fotografien fest. Ihr Denken und die Ästhetik der Bilder wurzeln im japanischen Konzept des Wabi Sabi, demzufolge Schönheit die Akzeptanz von Vergäng- lichkeit, Unvollkommenheit und Verletzlichkeit ist. Dieses Buch stellt neben ihrer ersten Werk- gruppe, den bisher unveröffentlichten frühen Werkgruppen Re-Naissance, Wabi-Sabi, Floris- zenzen, neue Bilder der "Fairies" und erste, ganz aktuelle Arbeiten aus der "Microverse" Serie vor. Für diese, noch in der experimentel- len Phase befindlichen Werkgruppe, arbeitet sie mit Prof. Regine Hengge und dem Institut für Mikrobiologie der Humboldt Universität Berlin zusammen.---------------------------------------------------Kathrin Linkersdorff's (*1966) fascinating large-format works resonate between art and science. Plants or bacteria comprise the visual reference point in her pictures, but it is not simply a matter of depicting them. Each image is a carefully selected, artistically staged image of the organic process of decay. The reference to Japanese wabi-sabi gives her works a dimension that transcends the visible. Wabi-sabi is a traditional aesthetic concept, according to which beauty implies the acceptance of imperfection, incompleteness, and transience.

In "Broken Memories" Andréas Lang explores the themes of recollection and history in Turkey. In a series of photographs and videos, he reflects on the disappearance, the discontinuity and the multiple layers of historical writings as well as the overwriting that leaves visible traces of a collective memory long since rendered invisible. He focuses on the contemporary approach to history, but especially on places with links to the later Ottoman Empire, the Armenian heritage and the 1915 genocide. Lang describes his work as visual archaeology that exposes the many layers of history and of mythology, as well as of the present day.

The Edizioni Conz of the Italian collector, publisher and photographer Francesco Conz-including portfolios, large silkscreen prints on fabrics and objects-are among the finest and most elaborate art editions of the second half of the 20th century. A friend and patron of Viennese Actionism, Fluxus, Concrete Poetry, and Lettrism, he was an obsessive, knowledgeable enthusiast open to all the arts, for whom hospitality, the magic of community, and respect for the arts were more important than any mercantile aspirations. This publication is the first comprehensive catalogue raisonné of the editions published by Conz between 1972 and 2009. Comprising more than 500 editions, it is both a reflection of his passions and a memorial to the art of the avant-gardes. Texts by contemporaries such as Alison Knowles, Dick Higgins, Milan Knizak, Eugen Gomringer, Emmett Williams, Nicholas Zurbrugg, and others complete the richly illustrated catalogue.FRANCESCO CONZ (1935-2010) grew up in a wealthy family ofAustro-Hungarian descent in the Italian Veneto. After cominginto contact with the art scene in Berlin and New York in the early1970s, he traveled to art festivals around the world and invitedartists to the Palazzo Baglioni in Asolo for happenings and per-formances. Since 2016, the Berlin-based Archivio Conz has beenworking to catalogue, research, and restore his extraordinarycollection for the public, which includes more than 4,000 worksand commissioned editions by over 300 international artists, aswell as 30,000 photographs and ephemera.

Ars Electronica 2023 is dedicated to the complex questions of truth and the concept of ownership in this digital age. In doing so, the festival navigates the central questions of our time. The focus is on how our perception of "authentic" and "original" is being transformed and whether truth can be owned, and how this relates to digitalization and the rapidly developing performance of artificial intelligence. How can the achievements of a tool that is so much based on the globally collective "raw material" of knowledge and creativity be made accessible to everyone and be harnessed to the benefit of all? This comprehensive volume brings together the works of artists, scientists, developers, designers, entrepreneurs and activists from around the world and delves deep into the themes of the festival, offering insights, perspectives, and thought-provoking content that reflect on the intersection of art, technology, and society.

Jeewi Lee is interested in all the traces-the intimate imprints and distinctive markings-that we leave behind and that inhabit the spaces surrounding us. Abstract compositions of rescued stories, worn-out pavements and stripped down wallpapers, cut out floors, grains of sand that have traveled millions of years around the world, coffee stains or burnt wood. These traces, both human and historical, become vessels of stories and memories, inscribed on various materials, bearing witness to the past, present, and future. This publication offers a comprehensive exploration of the manifold tracings of the Berlin-based Korean artist over the past decade. It provides insight into her highly conceptual way of working and unveils previously unseen documentation of her deeply personal process of creation.JEEWI LEE (*1987, Seoul) is a Berlin-based South Korean-German artist. She studied painting at the Berlin University of the Arts and at Hunter College University in New York, graduating in 2014 with a master in fine arts and since 2018 holds an MFA from the postgraduate program Art in Context. Her multidisciplinary practice encompasses site-specific installations and interventions, video and image series that predominantly deal with traces that question our visual perception, while also reflecting their own production process.

This book is good for bird lovers. This book is not published for study or research purpose. I am not a bird expert. I try to understand bird more personally. Hope you enjoy this book and birds.I used few different cameras in different time. In many occasions I stop walk and wait for a good shot for hours. Most of the birds are wild and few are in cage.Australia and its offshore islands and territories have 898 recorded bird species as of 2014. Australian species range from the tiny 8 cm (3.1 in) weebill to the huge, flightless emu. It has been suggested that up to 10% of Australian bird species may go extinct by the year 2100 as a result of climate change. Many of them have specific beauty, character and habitat. Australia is the home of the best views in the world. The remarkable country road, conservation parks, cliffs, rocks, deserts, farm lands and many more. Hiking/Walking and Bird Watch is closely related. Hiking brings me joy.

Armor of the Iowa-Class Battleships is the second book in this series on these warships. Devoting a single, large volume to this subject has resulted in the most detailed book on a warship ever published. The book uses over 600 original plans, new scale drawing, renderings, and photographs to document the armor protection of the Iowa-class battleships. There are measured drawings showing the dimensions of each armor plate on the ship. The book explains how the armor was assembled and illustrates the supporting structures for the armor. Differences among the various ships are shown. Because this book relies on original plans and ship measurements, it corrects many errors about the Iowa-class that circulate in print.

This unique book of photographs and text takes place in the 2000-year-old village of Vichya in the desert of Gujarati, India. There, photographer and teacher Wendy Ewald lived and taught twenty of the village's children, ages ten to fourteen years, the art and craft of photography.Whether they attend school or work the fields, whether they are untouchables or of another caste, the children speak chillingly of their concern over their impending marriages and stories of bride-burning, of their hopes and dreams, and of their almost unanimous desire to photograph the gods.The children's pictures and oral histories are joined with Ewald's evocative observations and images of the town and its people.

In 1989 my husband Bill and I moved to a small town in France called La Varenne-Saint-Hilaire, a suburb southeast of Paris. Before leaving the States, Bill gifted me with a Nikon N2020 35mm film camera. We moved into a lovely home, three houses up from the Marne River that flows nearby. I loaded up my backpack with water, lots of film, and the desire to explore our new location. I spent hours in my darkroom developing my photos while Chewy, our cat, waited outside the door.Living in France was truly magical. The things those old buildings have seen and heard. Too bad they can't talk. Getting lost was typically unfortunate for anyone but not for me in Paris. I wandered endlessly and stumbled upon something new every time. Maybe because I knew this was not our permanent home, it made every day much more special.A feeling of awe would wash over me as I walked down an alleyway or some random cobblestone street as I let my mind wander and imagined some of the greatest minds ever had walked these same streets.Of course, we explored the obligatory things one must see and do-Versailles, Provence, Chantilly, etc. But we also visited towns we had never heard of, or someone from work would tell us, "You must see this place," and off we'd go. Sometimes a coin had to be flipped to see if we went left or right. We were never disappointed. It was like discovering something new-the sights, smells, and sounds different from one another-a photographer's paradise.Those were beautiful days that I would never forget; days spent exploring and appreciating the beauty of life all around me through my lens-capturing memories that will last forever in my mind's eye.The photos in this book are just some of the stories I wanted to share. Maybe they'll remind you of vacations taken, that first kiss, or when you walked down those same cobblestone streets or watched the sunset while drinking an espresso at a sidewalk cafe. Perhaps they'll inspire you to get out more and explore the world around you.

Comment est-il possible de mettre en pratique la sociologie visuelle et d'utiliser la photo pour rendre compte de différentes réalités sociales ? Ce numéro espère répondre en partie à ces deux questions, et c'est là un défi plus grand qu'il n'y parait, pour la simple raison qu'il n'est pas si évident de faire le tour de tous les repères visuels qui constituent un milieu. Pour le relever, l'équipe du sociologue Pierre Fraser et du linguiste Georges Vignaux s'est rendue dans un marché public et dans une banque alimentaire, l'idée étant, le lecteur l'aura compris, de faire une analyse comparative de ces deux milieux très différents. Et c'est là où la notion de plan rapproché prend toute sa dimension. Si la notion de plan rapproché renvoie à cette idée que le cadrage photographique intime doit rapprocher les personnages du spectateur, permettant à ce dernier de détailler les visages des protagonistes de la scène, en sociologie visuelle, nous dirons plutôt que le plan rapproché met en perspective tous ces repères visuels qui se constituent par la suite en réseaux visuels et en parcours visuels. Concrètement, le plan rapproché permet de mettre l'accent sur ce qui fait repère visuel. Pour rappel, un repère visuel est constitué d'un ensemble de caractéristiques visuelles qui le différencie de tous les autres repères visuels, car il normalise nos comportements, nos conduites, nos jugements, nos attitudes, nos opinions, nos croyances et différencie ce qu'il convient de faire par rapport à la norme dominante.

New Orleans is one of the places on earth where celebration is how the people cope with everything from life to death. Mardi Gras is no exception. The year 2021 found the world in a pandemic. As safety was the most important goal for mankind, the Mayor of New Orleans, along with other officials, made the determination that Mardi Gras would not occur making the season historically somber for the citizens of the city and annual visitors; or so it seemed.The people, as well as, visitors from across the globe, are accustomed to extravagant floats, marching bands, walking bands, dance groups, flambeau carriers, Indian Tribes, formal balls and many others sights that make Mardi Gras the unique event that it is. Mardi Gras is a culture, not just an event for the people of New Orleans. So, without the normal sights of the season, the citizens of the city, in all courage and excitement turned homes, business and mansions into floats in a display of resilience to not allow the culture to die.While every single property could not be captured, this photographic walk is dedicated to the citizens of New Orleans.
