My 2023 Top 5
Since early May, 2022, when I fractured my right arm (the humerus, right under the shoulder joint), my health, my physical well being, has deteriorated at a fast pace because I stopped being active. Part of that was my not taking pictures because, especially for the first 2 months after the break, I could not lift my camera. Then, this year, my cataracts got worst and I had my right eye surgery in early November, with my left eye surgery rescheduled for next April. (My cataracts in my left eye are not as severe as they were on my right eye and before my surgery scheduled for this month, December, I got a bad case of bronchitis.) It has been a year of deterioration and adjustment and retrospection (in 10 years I will be 80 years old) and of doing photography. Not so much of making pictures, but certainly of continuing my learning my beloved art form and going back and reworking some of my old photos.
So, with all that said, here are my Top 5 for 2023 and why I chose them and what, in some way, they have to do with my explanation above. The first 3 were captured this year and the last 2 are finds from past photos that I overlooked and that the newer, more powerful masking tools in Camera Raw helped me shape into what I think are stunning images. I am getting good at doing the Ansel Adams style manipulations and am also enjoying the process.
Oy vey.
Circles and triangles and shadows, oh my II. Oakland, 01-28-23.
I went to Oakland, which is a city I love and think is sadly overlooked because of San Francisco's grandeur. Had a great time walking around for a couple of hours and got a few solid photos. What more can I ask for.
Portrait II. Davis, 03-20-23.
Had dinner with this young man and got a couple of photos. zTHis was my favorite; captured him at his most comfortable because he was reacting to a comment by his roommate. Not the sharpest image, but I love the sense of motion and his expression.
Roses IX; Municipal Rose Garden. San Jose, 05-14-23.
For my birthday I went down to San Jose and stayed a couple of days. On my birthday, I visited the San Jose Municipal Rose Garden and had a wonderful time capturing gorgeous roses and enjoying the park's festive Mother's Day atmosphere.
The beauty of decay
Vintage trailer: Crockett, 10-01-17.
Kinda creepy/post-Apocalyptic/SteamPunk, this photo came to life once I started editing it in Camera Raw recently. The masking, dodge & burn tools are excellent and its tools for manipulating color also helped immensely even though this is a B&W photo.
COVID wanderings
Outdoor seating? Pier 1. San Francisco, 09-07-20.
While walking around a deserted San Francisco Bay promenade on the Embarcadero, I was struck by the hard, graphic lines and sharp B&W light/shadows of this, which showed that even in the midst of a terrifying pandemic, there was beauty to be found every so often, in the most unexpected, mundane places.

unfiltered flashpoint beyond #1 and 2 thoughts from the pov of someone who doesn’t know what the fuck is going on and is only reading in the hope they will do something interesting with flashpoint kal
- thomas wayne is a fucking freak. watching him go like good lord what the fuck is wrong with you. entertaining though even to someone who doesn’t read much batman
- idk who he is but my favorite character is the little boy who’s harassing bruce wayne. 80% because of his silly little davy crockett cap. ohh mein gott this battencaven ist full of idioten
- second favorite character the little Dent boy who’s going to be the Worst Robin Ever, this is some quality comedic relief child endangerment
( - would have been fun if he was a little girl though i would have liked that even more. there’s just something about a little girl in the face of massive trauma being like please teach me how to shoot a gun and blow shit up...yeah)
- i’m not sure if this comic is trying to drag me for my cynical attitude of ‘none of this matters’ re: dark crisis but if it is it’s not working wrt dark crisis but it IS working for this particular universe :/ gilda got to me okay
- the gotham globe’s slogan is “all the news that’s fit to print” which is PLAGIARISM. truly flashpoint is the darkest timeline
- again i have to stress i don’t know SHIT about larger dc continuity/powerlevels but in the original flashpoint, thought it was kind of weird aquaman vs wonder woman on land was a battle whose conclusion was not supposed to be obviously ww winning sooo... good for her getting to stab him i guess. cool aquaman foot soldiers though
- all the art is almost too pretty for this world
- all i really want is for it to be acknowledged that flashpoint kal was tortured in a cell for 20-odd years and have it have SOME effect on his character. giving him something interesting to do would be even better but i will settle for a crumb. most supermen are my blorbos but flashpoint kal is my meow meow

Research Task (week 8)
Walt Disney-
Walter Elias Disney December 5, 1901 – December 15, 1966 was an American animator, film producer, and entrepreneur. In the fall of 1917 Disney began his freshman year at McKinley High School and took night courses at the Chicago Art Institute. He became the cartoonist for the school newspaper, drawing patriotic topics and focusing on World War I. Despite dropping out of high school at the age of sixteen to join the army, Disney was rejected for being underage.
Hoping to find work outside the Chicago O-Zell factory, in 1919 Walt moved back to Kansas City to begin his artistic career. After considering whether to become an actor or a newspaper artist, he decided on a career as a newspaper artist, drawing political caricatures or comic strips.The creation of Mickey Mouse in 1928 changed everything. Around that time, Disney launched many other famous characters, such as Minnie Mouse and Donald Duck, which together became the foundation of a company that has now branched out well beyond animation.
Heinrich Kley's influence on Walt Disney is undeniable. In 1935, Walt travelled extensively through Europe and returned with a handful of pieces by the German artist. Walt was drawn to the drama and emotion of Kley's work, and wished to achieve a similar powerful visual narrative and sense of storytelling on screen.
Disney used the money from Snow White to build a movie studio and to produce more animated movies including Pinocchio, Fantasia, Dumbo, Bambi, Alice in Wonderland, and Peter Pan. During World War II, Disney's movie production slowed down as he worked on training and propaganda films for the U.S. government. After the war, Disney began to produce live action films in addition to animated films. His first big live action film was Treasure Island.
In the 1950's, the new technology of television was taking off. Disney wanted to be a part of television as well. Early Disney television shows included Disney's Wonderful World of Color, the Davy Crockett series, and the Mickey Mouse Club.
Always coming up with new ideas, Disney had the idea to create a theme park with rides and entertainment based on his movies. Disneyland opened in 1955. It cost $17 million to build. The park was a huge success and is still one of the most popular vacation destinations in the world. Disney would later have the idea to build an even larger park in Florida called Walt Disney World. He worked on the plans, but died before the park opened in 1971.

Blog 3: Mi Viaje a San Antonio, TX ✈️
El año pasado durante el descanso del Día de Acción de Gracias, mis papás y yo fuimos a visitar San Antonio por cuatro días. Disfrute el viaje mucho, entonces decidí escribir este blog. Queríamos conocer está cuidad por varias razones. Pero más que nada, queríamos conocer el Alamo, que es un gran sitio histórico de Texas. El Alamo era una misión española donde se hicieron heroes Davy Crockett, Jim Bowie, y William Barret Travis porque con la ayuda de unos 200 rebeldes defendieron está misión contra miles de soldados mexicanos del General Santa Ana. Después de este esfuerzo, capturaron a Santa Ana y Texas logro su indepencia. Me divertí mucho en el Alamo porque pude ver dentro de la misión, el bonito jardin, y muchas estatuas. Además de ver el Alamo, hicemos varías otras actividades divertidas en San Antonio. Caminamos por el famoso Riverwalk y tomamos un paseo en bote por ahi. También visitamos el Briscoe Western Art Museum donde vimos mucho arte historico y cultural del American West. Aún más, fuimos a el Tower of the Americas. Estaba muy alto y se veía impresionante la cuidad de esa altura. También comimos en algunos restaurantes de comida estilo Tex-Mex. Habían muchas decoraciónes coloridas en los restaurantes. Estaba rica la comida también. Habían tacos, tostadas, burritos, arroz, frijoles, enchiladas, pan dulce, y varias otras cosas. Otra cosa que hicimos fue ir a ver el Chinese Tea Garden. Me encantó porque el agua estaba muy clara con peces koi y nenúfares. Estaba hermoso el jardin. Por ultimo, tomé un coche de caballos por la cuidad. Por todas estas razones, disfruté muchisimo el viaje a San Antonio. Mientras escribía este blog, nadamás tuve dificultadad con saber como decir algunas palabras en español. Por ejemplo, no sabía como decir "lily pad," pero ahora se que es una nenúfar. En conclusión, me gusto escribir este blog porque reviví mi tiempo en San Antonio.
Aquí estamos en el Alamo.
Yo con un cannon del Alamo. Yo el museó Briscoe. Y yo en el jardín.
La torre. Y al lado yo en el coche de caballos.

Disneyland opens
Disneyland, Walt Disney’s metropolis of nostalgia, fantasy and futurism, opens on July 17, 1955. The $17 million theme park was built on 160 acres of former orange groves in Anaheim, California, and soon brought in staggering profits. Today, Disneyland hosts more than 18 million visitors a year, who spend close to $3 billion.
Walt Disney, born in Chicago in 1901, worked as a commercial artist before setting up a small studio in Los Angeles to produce animated cartoons. In 1928, his short film Steamboat Willy, starring the character “Mickey Mouse,” was a national sensation. It was the first animated film to use sound, and Disney provided the voice for Mickey. From there on, Disney cartoons were in heavy demand, but the company struggled financially because of Disney’s insistence on ever-improving artistic and technical quality. His first feature-length cartoon, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1938), took three years to complete and was a great commercial success.
Snow White was followed by other feature-length classics for children, such as Pinocchio (1940), Dumbo (1941), and Bambi (1942). Fantasia (1940), which coordinated animated segments with famous classical music pieces, was an artistic and technical achievement. In Song of the South (1946), Disney combined live actors with animated figures, and beginning with Treasure Island in 1950 the company added live-action movies to its repertoire. Disney was also one of the first movie studios to produce film directly for television, and its Zorro and Davy Crockett series were very popular with children.
In the early 1950s, Walt Disney began designing a huge amusement park to be built near Los Angeles. He intended Disneyland to have educational as well as amusement value and to entertain adults and their children. Land was bought in the farming community of Anaheim, about 25 miles southeast of Los Angeles, and construction began in 1954. In the summer of 1955, special invitations were sent out for the opening of Disneyland on July 17. Unfortunately, the pass was counterfeited and thousands of uninvited people were admitted into Disneyland on opening day. The park was not ready for the public: food and drink ran out, a women’s high-heel shoe got stuck in the wet asphalt of Main Street USA, and the Mark Twain Steamboat nearly capsized from too many passengers.
Disneyland soon recovered, however, and attractions such as the Castle, Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride, Snow White’s Adventures, Space Station X-1, Jungle Cruise, and Stage Coach drew countless children and their parents. Special events and the continual building of new state-of-the-art attractions encouraged them to visit again. In 1965, work began on an even bigger Disney theme park and resort near Orlando, Florida. Walt Disney died in 1966, and Walt Disney World was opened in his honor on October 1, 1971. Epcot Center, Disney-MGM Studios, and Animal Kingdom were later added to Walt Disney World, and it remains Florida’s premier tourist attraction. In 1983, Disneyland Tokyo opened in Japan, and in 1992 Disneyland Paris—or “EuroDisney”—opened in Marne-la-Vallee. Disneyland in Hong Kong opened its doors in September 2005.

Walt Disney's Treasury of Classic Tales is an American Disney comic strip, which ran on Sundays in newspapers from July 13, 1952, until February 15, 1987.[1] It was distributed by King.
Features Syndicate. Each story adapted a different Disney film, such as Darby O'Gill and the Little People, Peter Pan, or Davy Crockett. It was run in relatively few papers, with 58 in 1957 [2] and 55 in 1966, [3] and was principally a vehicle for promoting new and re-released
Disney films. [4] From March 8 to June 18, 1950, Disney distributed a limited-time Sunday strip adaptations of their new animated feature Cinderella, written by Frank Reilly, with art by Manuel Gonzales and Dick Moores. [5] The same team followed the next year with Alice in Wonderland, which ran from September 2 to December 16, 1951.[6] Judged a success, the experiment was turned into an ongoing feature in 1952, beginning with The Story of Robin Hood.
The strip featured a wide variety of Disney stories. The animated features adapted for the strip include Peter Pan (1953), Lady and the Tramp (1955), Sleeping Beauty (1958), The Sword in the Stone (1963) and The Jungle Book
(1968). Classic Tales also featured animated shorts, including Lambert the Sheepish Lion
(1956) and Ben and Me (1953), and featurettes like Peter & The Wolf (1954) and Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree (1966s). CLONES

FLP CHAPBOOK OF THE DAY: All We Are Told Not to Touch by Leticia Del Toro – NWVS #169
PREORDER NOW: https://www.finishinglinepress.com/product/all-we-are-told-not-to-touch-by-leticia-del-toro-nwvs-169/
ALL WE ARE TOLD NOT TO TOUCH explores the places and moments where we are told danger exists: the rogue waves of the ocean, the unwelcoming side of a border, a street where girls are forbidden to play and the implacable grief surrounding a brother’s death, among others. Each poem unfolds with a desire for what is out of reach. The poet’s travels and meditations come to life in both urban and rural spaces such as San Francisco, Paris, Barcelona, as well as in villages in France and Mexico. All are interconnected points of the spiritual, physical and sensual journeys required to love and heal.
Leticia Del Toro is a Chicana poet and fiction writer from the sugar refinery town of Crockett, California. Extended travels to her parents’ home state of Jalisco, Mexico as well as explorations in Spain and France, also inform her work. Leticia’s writing has appeared in DrumVoices Revue, Cipactli, Huizache, Zyzzyva, About Place Journal and more. All We Are Told Not to Touch won First Place in the New Women’s Voices series for Finishing Line Press. Her fiction chapbook, Café Colima, was published as the 2017 Kore Press Fiction Prize. Additional honors and awards, include the Eliot Gilbert Prize at UC Davis, a Hedgebrook residency, a Rona Jaffe Award at Bread Loaf and a Story Knife residency. Leticia has also thrived in the writing communities of VONA, Macondo and Círculo de Poetas. She holds a B.A. in Spanish Language and Literature from University of California at Berkeley and an M.A. in English from the University of California at Davis. While writing is her passion, her most creative work is expressed in teaching, motherhood and arts activism.

ADVANCE PRAISE FOR All We Are Told Not to Touch by Leticia Del Toro – NWVS #169
In All We Are Told Not to Touch, Leticia Del Toro offers us poems as fresh as jicama, burning sugarcane, and a fishing village at dusk. Like the bougainvillas that take root and bloom memories all around us, she guides us along mysterious shorelines and into lonely cemeteries, where we honor the living and the dead. These poems let us touch “what dreams some women may have” before they are gone.
–Juan J. Morales, Author of The Handyman’s Guide to End Times
“This is a mesmerizing collection, a multi-sensual turning of voices, idioms, and languages as we travel, take flight, sense our lives, bodies and the possibility of intimacy and love. Yet, we move at every turn, we visit, for a moment, we notice the shores, the child, la abuela, the street, the play of things that appear and dissolve around us as we approach. There are emergencies, killings, graves, and ashes to be swept from cemetery markers. Culture, ancestry, history, the acrid daily news of violence and the geographies of day-to-day life merge into these conversations, perhaps whispers to the self, a self on fire, a self that envelops the larger multiple body. Is it love? Perhaps love, perhaps, if it can be touched. I am moved by this collection, in particular by its blurred lenses, senses, its arousals, its lures, its boldness and daring. Incredible, a new accomplishment. Bravissimo del Toro, Bravissima!”
—Juan Felipe Herrera, Poet Laureate of the United States, Emeritus
“In All We Are Told Not to Touch, Leticia Del Toro has expertly and seamlessly brought together distinct cultural and linguistic strands of poems…each in English and Spanish, draws essence, shape color and meaning from the culture that feeds it. Distinct yet equally power in its circular motion. No easy task but superbly achieved by the poet. Felicitaciones, Leticia.”
