October 19, 2023 - Marquesas Kingfisher or Marquesan Kingfisher (Todiramphus godeffroyi) Found only in the Marquesas Islands in French Polynesia, these kingfishers live primarily in forests, especially along mountain streams and in valleys. They feed on beetles, large grasshoppers, and other insects, along with small lizards and possibly fish, capturing their prey in foliage or swooping onto it from a perch. Laying their eggs between September and January, they nest in cavities in trees and stumps. They are classified as Critically Endangered by the IUCN due to habitat deterioration and predation on the one small island they still inhabit. Introduced Great Horned Owls, Common Mynas, and possibly Black Rats likely contributed to their extinction on the island of Hiva Oa.

1922 Man Ray, Marchesa Luisa Casati.

"In 1922, Luisa visited a young and still unknown photographer named Man Ray. In his autobiography, the American tells the story of the photo that became the most famous of all the representations of the Marchioness Casati (...) "I drew a few where one could distinguish a semblance of face; On one of the negatives, we saw three pairs of eyes. It could have been mistaken for a surreal version of the Medusa. It was precisely this photo that delighted her: I had made a portrait of her soul, she said, and she ordered dozens of copies from me. I wish my other clients had been so easy to please. The photo of the marquise went around Paris. Figures from the most closed circles began to come, all expecting miracles. I had to leave my hotel room and find a real studio. » (x)
