Almost every holiday, the residents of this house located along Campus Avenue in San Diego neighborhood University Heights bring out decorations galore. My wife and I passed by on Christmas Day. Walking on without taking a photo would have been absolute negligence. The Featured Image, composed as shot, comes from Leica Q2. Vitals, aperture manually set: f/8, ISO 100, 1/125 sec, 28mm; 10:17 a.m. PST.
I am not an overly enthusiastic fan of all things Disney. The Magic Kingdom lost its spell about the time I reached adulthood. That’s not a criticism. We all grow out of something.
That said, Mickey and Mini still hold an iconic allure—and appealing is their sheerly untainted (so far) clearly defined male and female roles, rather than reassignment from among a host of societally-imposed genders. I won’t apologize for affirming femininity or masculinity. Even computer code is binary. Ones and zeros.
