4. SIAHPC_050817_04.JPG: Walt Disney. Inventor, innovator, impresario, and visionary, Walter Elias Disney (1901-1966) used the many facets of our national entertainment industry to interpret "the ideals, the dreams, and the hard facts that created America" for generations of audiences. Disney's pioneering work as an animator and studio executive produced a string of classic movies, many of which featured such celluloid characters as Mickey Mouse, Goofy, and Donald Duck. His legacy of motion pictures, blending childhood whimsy with ground-breaking technology, also informed his dynamic scheme for a new kind of family amusement park. Like his films, the park's attractions rely on narrative structure that makes visitors part of the action. Although his achievements were many, Walt Disney once observed, "Of all the things I've ever done, I'd like to be remembered as a storyteller." Disneyland. Disneyland, a "magical" theme park, blossomed over five decades into a cultural symbol of wholesome enjoyment and everyday fantasy. This revolution in public recreation was the brainchild of artist and filmmaker Walt Disney. He and his staff of "imagineers" created an ever-evolving theme park with an encompassing vision of America itself -- past, present, and future. From a popular destination and compelling concept, Disneyland has evolved into a symbol of American 20th-century culture, both celebrated and criticized. Built on an orange grove in Anaheim, California, Disneyland opened fifty years ago on July 17, 1955. Since then, it has become a global phenomenon, spawning Disney parks in Orlando, Tokyo, Paris, and soon, Hong Kong, and imitators everywhere. Tea Cup. A permanent attraction at Disneyland since it opened in 1955, the Mad Tea Party ride's origins lie in the wild "Unbirthday Party" hosted by the comic Mad Hatter character in Disney's 1951 animated film adapted from Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." Whirling sets of giant-sized tea cups and saucers are the principal components of the revolving Mad Tea Party die. At the center of each tea cup is a large wheel that allows riders to make the car spin faster or slower.

2005 photos: Equipment this year: I used four cameras -- two Fujifilm S7000 cameras (which were plagued by dust inside the lens), a new Fujifilm S5200 (nice but not great and I hated the proprietary xD memory chips), and a Canon PowerShot S1 IS (returned because it felt flimsy to me). I gave my Epson camera to my catsitter. Both of the S7000s were in for repairs over Christmas. Trips this year: Florida (for Lotusphere), a driving trip down south (seeing sites in North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, and Georgia), Williamsburg, and Chicago. Number of photos taken this year: 147,000.
