Jutta Vialon
Jutta Vialon (3 March 1917 – 23 February 2004) was a German photographer based, during her working life, in Bremen. The profession was a respected one, but also very male dominated, which made her unusual. Her most important professional association was with Radio Bremen, but she also undertook work with a wide range of other Bremen enterprises and organisations. Life Born in the Friedenau quarter of Berlin, Jutta Vialon was the only child of her father, Justus Vialon (1888–1962) and his wife, born Wally Günther. Shortly after Jutta was born war ended and her father was appointed to a position as a bank manager/director. He was based at branches in successively larger towns till 1934 when he was sent to work in the city of Bremen, which is where, albeit not without breaks, his daughter would live for the rest of her life. In 1938 Justus Vialon was appointed a board member with the Bremer Landesbank, newly formed following a bank merger. It was also in 1938 that ...

SS Pasteur (1938)
SS ''Pasteur'' was a steam turbine ocean liner built for Compagnie de Navigation Sud-Atlantique. She later sailed as ''Bremen'' for Norddeutscher Lloyd. In the course of her career, she sailed for 41 years under four names and six countries' flags. Construction In 1933 Compagnie de Navigation Sud-Atlantique's modern flagship was gutted by fire after only two years in service. After a three-year dispute her underwriters agreed she was beyond economic repair and paid her owners a settlement. With the settlement, her owners ordered ''Pasteur'' as a smaller but faster replacement ship to carry passengers and freight on their South Atlantic routes. Her main competition was the German liner , owned by the Hamburg Südamerikanische Dampfschifffahrts-Gesellschaft. She was also designed to compete with a new British ship, , which Harland and Wolff was building for Royal Mail Lines. Chantiers de l'Atlantique in Saint-Nazaire began to build ''Pasteur'' began in 1938. On 15 February of th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Artists From Bremen (city)
An artist is a person engaged in an activity related to creating art, practicing the arts, or demonstrating an art. The common usage in both everyday speech and academic discourse refers to a practitioner in the visual arts only. However, the term is also often used in the entertainment business, especially in a business context, for musicians and other performers (although less often for actors). "Artiste" (French for artist) is a variant used in English in this context, but this use has become rare. Use of the term "artist" to describe writers is valid, but less common, and mostly restricted to contexts like used in criticism. Dictionary definitions The ''Oxford English Dictionary'' defines the older broad meanings of the term "artist": * A learned person or Master of Arts. * One who pursues a practical science, traditionally medicine, astrology, alchemy, chemistry. * A follower of a pursuit in which skill comes by study or practice. * A follower of a manual art, such as a ...

People From Tempelhof-Schöneberg
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...

Monochrome Photography
Monochrome photography is photography where each position on an image can record and show a different ''amount'' of light, but not a different hue. It includes all forms of black-and-white photography, which produce images containing shades of neutral grey ranging from black to white. Other hues besides grey, such as sepia, cyan, blue, or brown can also be used in monochrome photography. In the contemporary world, monochrome photography is mostly used for artistic purposes and certain technical imaging applications, rather than for visually accurate reproduction of scenes. Description Although methods for photographing in color emerged slowly starting in the 1850s, monochrome imagery dominated photography until the mid–twentieth century. From the start, photographic recording processes such as the daguerreotype, the paper negative and the glass collodion negative did not render the color of light (although they were sensitive to some colors more than others). The result was ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Medium Format (film)
Medium format has traditionally referred to a film format in photography and the related cameras and equipment that use film. Nowadays, the term applies to film and digital cameras that record images on media larger than the used in 35 mm photography (though not including 127 sizes), but smaller than (which is considered large format photography). In digital photography, medium format refers either to cameras adapted from medium-format film photography uses or to cameras making use of sensors larger than that of a 35 mm film frame. Some of the benefits of using medium-format digital cameras include higher resolution sensors, better low-light capabilities compared to a traditional 35mm DSLR, and a wider dynamic range. Characteristics Medium-format cameras made since the 1950s are generally less automated than smaller cameras made at the same time. For example, autofocus became available in consumer 35 mm cameras in 1977, but did not reach medium format until ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

It is a film with a film gauge of loaded into a standardized type of magazine – also referred to as a cassette or cartridge – for use in 135 film cameras. The engineering standard for this film is controlled by ISO 1007 titled '135-size film and magazine'. The term 135 was introduced by Kodak in 1934 as a designation for 35 mm film specifically for still photography, perforated with Kodak Standard perforations. It quickly grew in popularity, surpassing 120 film by the late 1960s to become the most popular photographic film size. Despite competition from formats such as 828, 126, 110, and APS, it remains the most popular film size today. The size of the 135 film frame with its aspect ratio of 1:1.50 has been adopted by many high-end digital single-lens reflex and digital mirrorless cameras, commonly referred to as " full frame".
