Fresno Flyer Vol 2 No 2 by Fresno Flyer

EDITOR’S NOTE

ometimes, we get the opportunity to do ‘themed’ issues. Our last issue was a mini-guide of food, and before that, we pumped out a Hello Summer issue, and before that it was the Rodeo issue. Those can be a lot of fun and people seem to really enjoy them, but it’s all the prints in between where we get to do something unique. We have a lot of stories to tell here in the Valley. There are so many voices that go unheard, perspectives that go unseen and we’re no longer in an age where we know who our neighbors are. Fresno alone is broken up into its respective sections; there are people who never travel south of Herndon and treat anything south of Shaw as a wasteland. There are people who never leave Clovis unless its to go up the mountain towards Oakhurst or visit the various lakes. Tower District sticks to Old Fig Garden and Downtown, and Southwest is ignored altogether except by those who live in the surrounding neighborhoods. What’s worse, is that our outer cities seem to go overlooked almost completely. It’s safe to say that we’re a fairly fractured community. But we shouldn’t be.

Sometimes we’re guilty of putting a lot of focus on Downtown Fresno and the Tower District, but it’s probably because we decided to plop our base of operations in downtown. We’re close to what’s happening in those neighborhoods, it’s part of our everyday so it’s hard to ignore. That’s why we need more voices, more of Madera, Reedley, Fowler, Kingsburg… more of Southwest Fresno, all talking to us and sharing your stories. The Flyer is here to connect the communities together, see the faces behind your local businesses, of the artists and creative minds who are building here, yet it’s not just the personal stories that we want to include, but what about the issues? We have room to talk about that in here, especially if you feel your neighborhood is underrepresented. No media outlet can be everywhere at once, and as small as we are, that’s especially true. Help us put the spotlight on your community, is there something we should know about? Or rather, something that other people should know about. Give us a holler. The fun stuff is fun and those we can keep coming, but the real stories… those come from you.

Come See What the Fuss is About by Arthur Robinson arthur@fresnoflyer.com

uss Fest is not only a music and arts festival, it is also a revelation. Created by four women: artist Pris Van Rye, Midwest Moms vocalist and OtherXcore zine author Sam Retton, Sci-Fi Caper vocalist & bassist Emelia Guadarrama, and vintage clothing purveyor Rio Toi, the idea behind the event is to promote the creative endeavors of women and femmes locally, not just in our Central Valley but across the state, by bringing people together for an all-ages, allinclusive free day of live music, food, art, and apparel. “I thought of it as kind of making a fuss about presenting women in music,” says Pris, one of the four driving forces behind July 15th’s festival, which, held in downtown Fresno, was up against Beach Hut Deli’s Two Year Anniversary at Tioga Sequoia just a few blocks away. Yet, even still, they managed to pull in a crowd in the Yoshi Now! parking lot, with many of the audience coming in from out of town. More than a dozen bands, from all genres, performed on that Saturday under

the Fresno heat. Attendees from the Los Angeles and Bay Area arrived in Fresno to the die-hard supporters of the local music scene in order to view female fronted bands and performing artists. Groups like the newly formed awakebutstillinbed, created by musician Shannon Taylor from San Jose, the rock ‘n roll sister duo Dog Party, who hails from Sacramento, and the closing band Sister Mantos, a multi-instrumental band singing songs in Spanish and English about love, queer & people of color empowerment with healthy doses of Latin beats, a strong punk attitude and a psychedelic blend of funk rock. As others came out with sunblock in hand to support artists with local ties to the community, like Lace Marie Eyewear and Laura May, by purchasing their homemade goods and art. Many more appeared to celebrate all the local femme musicians in their own backyard like hip-hop artist and poet Kooleidoscope, who took a break from her hiatus to perform for a captive audience, and bassist/vocalist Erica Najera from La

Niña and Light Thieves, who said “it’s gonna be the La Niña’s last show for a while,” but made sure to leave everything out there on the stage floor for a group of friends and family throughout their set on a warm summer day. “We definitely applaud anybody that wants to try to do something in Fresno. We just want to try to do it too. We’re not taking away from other festivals. The support is there in Fresno. It’s just a matter of making it happen,” said, Emelia, just days before she set to open Fuss Fest with her band Sci-Fi Caper. A refreshing statement of positivism put into practice during a summer where the issue of racial discrimination and sexual violence at music festivals is getting increased attention in the media. These issues range from a lack of female fronted bands and the representation for them, to allowing alleged abusers to perform at several high profile festivals like the Vans Warped Tour, as well as a general level of blatant disrespect for people of color, the LGBTQIA community

and other marginalized groups from white cisgender males, many of whom have been a part of the community for decades, who respond with obscenities filled with misogyny and racism to these members of the same music community. And in the past few years, organizations such as A Voice for the Innocent, Safe Gigs for Women, and advocacy blogs like Safer Scene are working with gig and festival goers, venues, events, bands and artists to promote diversity and inclusiveness on and off stage to raise awareness about assault and discrimination, and to improve the overall safety of the community for everyone to keep the music scene healthy and thriving. Places like the Warped Tour are places for outcasts to enjoy the music they like, together within their area, but these places and events have developed a stigma over the years. Recent high-profile stories of male performers traveling in these music scenes have surfaced over their engaging in sexually aggressive behavior towards female

‘Fuss’ continued from page 3... fans, especially towards minors, and have cast it as something of a breeding ground for predatory bad behavior. One incident, in particular, occurred in Denver on June 25 of this year during the second week of Warped Tour involving the punk rock band The Dickies. More specifically, it involved their front man, Leonard Grave Phillips, and a female acquaintance of the band War on Women touring as part of the group Safer Scenes, who, in protest of The Dickies’ often obscene antics, held up a sign in the front of the crowd that read: “Teen girls deserve respect, not gross jokes from disgusting old men! Punk shouldn’t be predatory!” Phillips responded with a string of misogynistic obscenities directed towards the young woman, complete with fans in the crowd cheering the lead singer on. Lines were drawn in the sand between the old-school and the new, and though the fire has died down here in the States, festivals abroad have women creating their own spaces in the other parts of the world to provide themselves a safe environment. The festival in Glastonbury launched its very first women-only stage known as The Sisterhood last year, and Sweden’s biggest music festival, the Bråvalla Festival, in response to a series of sexual assaults in year’s past, will be replaced next

year by a women-only alternative. “What do you think about putting together a really cool festival where only non-men are welcome, that we’ll run until ALL men have learned how to behave themselves?” tweeted Swedish comedian and radio presenter, Emma Knyckare. Shortly after, the powers that be decided to put her statement to practice and have since made an official statement regarding the change. While women-led festivals can be found the world over, not just in the United States, it can also be found in our very own city. Not just with the recent Fuss Fest event, but also with the Women’s Art & Music Festival heading into its second. The event will be held on October 21st at the Tower Theatre. Fuss Fest remains committed to supporting women and welcoming everyone with open arms. The organization recognizes that by keeping the event free, the barriers that can keep people, (“especially women, femmes, and people of color”), from accessing the arts will be minimized. And by keeping the event open to all ages, young men and women who might not have access to enough live music due to age restrictions can get a taste of what Fresno has to offer. And it’s a sentiment that Pris Van Rye shares with her fellow Fuss Fest

promoters: “There are a lot of music festivals and it’s very rare that you see female musicians or artists that are presented in that light. It’s a lot of male driven bands, male driven promoters. We kind of wanted to set something up completely different. Kind of put a little more light on female artists and musicians, as well as queer and trans and other people that aren’t really presented in the festivals that we have [right] here in Fresno.”

How to Make Practicing Music Fun for Kids (StatePoint) While many children enthusiastically elect to study music, not all of them stick with the program. This is because many kids are surprised by the challenges associated with learning to play an instrument. If you are familiar with the many benefits of music education, you may be wondering if there is anything you can do to help kids commit to practicing. From learning to read music to getting comfortable with an instrument, the process of becoming a musician is rife with challenges and potential frustrations. But by making it fun, you will give kids more of an incentive to stick with it.

Make it Personal While music lessons in the past may have followed a very structured formula, today

The Women’s Art and Music Festival of Fresno will be offering #WAMFF Open Mic/Live Auditions Fundraiser on Saturday, August 19 at 12 - 4 PM at Full Circle Brewing Co. The selected artists will have the opportunity to perform later in October for this year’s event. For more information about the Women’s Art and Music Festival visit facebook.com/womensartandmusicfest instagram.com/womenartmusic

Get Together

there is an endless wealth of music available online. This gives students more opportunities to personalize their lessons, even at the earliest stages of music education. As kids make progress, let them pick out increasingly challenging songs they want to learn to play. They will be motivated to hone their skills as they begin to see doing so as an opportunity to play more of their favorite music.

| FRESNO FLYER |

Use New Technologies When selecting instruments for kids, consider newer interactive technologies that can make music more fun and aid the learning process. For example, the LK-265, a lighted 61-key keyboard with a Dance Music Mode, which allows kids to get creative while composing and remixing electronic dance music. Tools like Casio’s Voice Fingering

One tried and true method for making music fun is camaraderie. Encourage your child to join the school band or orchestra. These programs can introduce students to a wide-range of instruments, musical styles and theory, and help them make lifelong friendships. Many programs will carry them throughout high school. Or, if they prefer, help them form a musical ensemble or band with friends or family at home. To help your children develop a long-lasting appreciation for music, you can provide them with opportunities to learn and play in ways that are fun and engaging.

TRANSFORM FRESNO

by Cynthia Callaghan

Downtown, Chinatown, and Southwest have a chance at a grant of $70 million to transform their communities. by Lisa Talley lisa@fresnoflyer.com

n Tuesday, August 1st Fresno Transformative Climate Communities Collaborative will be launching their kickoff workshop series in the effort to “identify investments that will catalyze economic and environmental transformation in Downtown, Chinatown, and Southwest Fresno,” as it states on the organization’s website: transformfresno.com Plainly put, the FTCCC is looking for viable ways to utilize a possible state awarded fund of a likely $70 million that will benefit and uplift the environment, along with the economy, in disadvantaged communities of Fresno. And it’s open to the public, more specifically centered on and around those who live and work in Southwest, Chinatown, or Downtown Fresno. But community involvement is the name of the game. The August 1st workshop will be the first of a 3 workshop series held at different dates, locations, and times, all within the areas of targeted transformation: Downtown, Chinatown, and Southwest Fresno. The meetings are part of an open proposal process and will provide the opportunity for individuals and organizations who are interested in submitting a project idea for consideration, to discuss it with the FTCCC and determine eligibility for funding. The collaborative will then provide those eligible projects to be included with the City of Fresno’s proposal to the state. Those interested in proposing a project should attend at least one Proposal Kickoff Workshop to learn

about eligibility. In a nut shell, eligible projects must fill some core requirements: be located in one or more of the aforementioned areas of Fresno (downtown, southwest, Chinatown), serve those communities by way of certain criteria, some of which are listed below: Greenhouse Gas Reduction Climate Adaptation and Resiliency Job Creation Workforce Training Local Business Expansion Public Health Connectivity and Accessibility Enhance Equity / Reduce Disparity Community Revitalization Community Engagement The list has yet to be finalized and is still undergoing changes. The FTCCC is looking for further input from the community as to how best utilize the $70 million investment. Current, up to date information about this list can be found by visiting their website or attending any of the workshops. Community Steering Committee Meetings have also been scheduled. These meetings will provide community members an opportunity to be a part of the decision-making process, those that will define and shape the criteria the proposed projects will be evaluated upon. So if you live, work, or own property in Downtown, Chinatown or Southwest Fresno, you’re welcome to be a part of the Community Steering

Committee Meetings and join the conversation. The Fresno Transformative Climate Communities Collaborative is staffed by the City of Fresno. Their goal is to “develop the City’s proposal to the Strategic Growth Council for the $70 million in available implementation funds.” Fresno’s City Council will then consider the final projects for adoption. The Strategic Growth Council is a state run committee which works to promote “sustainability, economic prosperity, and quality of life for all Californians,” as stated on their website: sgc.ca.gov/About-Us The State of California is proposing to invest $140 million of cap and trade money in three communities - Fresno, Los Angeles, and an undeclared third location. These communities were chosen due to their areas of concentrated poverty and high rates of pollution. The proposed funds are dedicated to helping transform these communities. The $70 million in question is not a definite, although Fresno has been chosen to apply for the grant, nothing has been determined. The process of choosing projects and hosting meetings with the communities are all part of drafting the City of Fresno’s proposal to appeal to the Strategic Growth Council. It’s an application process. More information about the process, important dates, and the grant can be found by visiting the FTCCC’s website: www.transformfresno.com

ello, readers. Thank you for your emails. I appreciate any and all feedback. And if you have a burning question to ask me, do it! I received a question from a gentleman who wanted more information about forgiveness. Yes, forgiveness. This is one of those topics that invariably gets SOMEONE riled up. This topic can incite riots. And while I exaggerated that last comment, I am not kidding when I say that forgiveness as a conversation piece does not go over well and here is why. It’s about letting go. And this is way hard to do. Here is a simple, quick and true story that illustrates this perfectly. I have a precious new little black kitten named Prince Julian and I love him. And he plays and frolicks on the windowsill in my dining room. While chasing a fly, he knocked over a small, dainty, flowery, antique English dish with a lid that my mother gave me. My heart broke, but just for a minute. And while it was my fault I put a delicate thing of beauty in a dangerous area, I had to let it go. Immediately. Bringing back that beautiful shattered treasure would never bring my mom back. Humans do atrocious things to other humans. They inflict pain, they betray, they abandon, they lie, they kill, they objectify, and they do smear campaigns. And for some humans, they hold on to a grudge against the inflictor for long periods of time or even forever. To what end? It takes up space in their mind. They wear it like a badge. They seethe. They think about it all the time and create elaborate revenge schemes to get that person back. And with negative consequences to their health, their sleep quality, and their mental health. Letting go has nothing to do with the person doing the hurting. Nothing. Letting go is about the person who has been hurt releasing the hold that the inflictor has had on them. And it only takes a second to forgive once the decision is made to do it. Counseling help. Journaling helps. Reading helps, too. Easy? Nope. If you want to learn more about forgiveness, read up on it at Learningtoforgive.com. I leave you with a clever quote from Lewis Smedes…”To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you “. Write soon and don’t forget to breathe.

GET YOUR GRUB ON LOCAL EATS AND TREATS

The Perfect Pairing: Amarone Wine and Prime Strip Steak

(StatePoint) A good steak and glass of red wine offer a delightful traditional pairing. A way to elevate this experience is to choose an Amarone della Valpolicella, a traditional red wine from Italy, to accompany a perfect cut of steak with high marbling content for more flavor.

Why an Amarone? Considered the gentle giant of Italian red wines, Amarone has bold yet subtle characteristics, which pair nicely with a nice cut of NY strip steak. Produced with indigenous grape varieties (Corvina, Rondinella,

| FRESNOFLYER.COM |

and Molinara) of the Venetian regions, Amarone wines are full-bodied, rich, well-balanced red wines. Since Roman times, winemakers have been using a specialized technique called the Appassimento method, which consists of drying the grapes on straw mats during the winter months to concentrate the fruitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aromas and flavors. An iconic 200-year old Amarone producer, Masi Agricola, known around the world for the quality of their wines produced over seven generations, has revolutionized the Appassimento technique. The winery has blended historic winemaking methods with modern research and technology: making their own selection of proprietary yeast, replacing straw mats with bamboo racks and drying the grapes in a temperatureand humidity-controlled environment, and conducting a double fermentation process. The result is an offering of five Amarone wines rich in history and personality. One of the acclaimed wines of the portfolio is the 2011 Masi Agricola Costasera Amarone della Valpolicella, with a suggested retail price of $63.99. This deep ruby-red wine has powerful, complex aromas of dried plums, flavors of baked cherries, chocolate and cinna-

mon. It tastes dry on the palate, with a soft and bright acidity; the delicate, structured tannins precede a long finish.

Choose the Right Cut Select a rich cut with visible marbling, which will have a higher fat content to pair with bold red wine. A good option would be a New York or Kansas City strip steak. This cut is affordable, has texture and is flavorful. Purchase a strip steak with a thickness of 1 inch. Season with salt and pepper then grill on high for 2-4 minutes. Decrease heat to medium temperature until desired degree of doneness is achieved, such as medium rare or well done. Pair your strip steak with an Amarone wine. It is full-bodied with balanced tannins, that will stand up beautifully to this flavorful cut. The high tannins will also act as a palate cleanser during the meal. Serving a beautiful steak and glass of high-quality Amarone will bring your experience to the next level. photo source: (c) Africa Studio - Fotolia. com

Miso soup and sunomono

Vegetable tempura with dipping sauce

A Foodie’s Review by Saeed Alkurdi

apanese cuisine. It’s a vice for many, including myself, but for some it’s uncharted territory. The strange and unique ingredients, often finding themselves cooked in steaming stews or soups, while others simmer on a heated flat top or deep fried to a golden-brown crisp, and some are even served raw or lightly pickled. It all makes for a hard-to-navigate world at first, but worry not because I’m here to help you find your way and we’re going to start at a place called Tokyo Garden. Located at 1711 Fulton Street, close to the heart of downtown near Fulton 55, this establishment looks quite humble during the daytime. However, at night with the neon sign lit up, this place unmistakably stands out. Inside, the style is modest yet clean and boasts a fairly sizable dining area, along with a stage for karaoke and live performances. If you’re wondering, jazz tends to be the predominant genre of music that’s performed there by professionals, but on the nights where karaoke is available anything is possible. Upon entering, the hostess seats me promptly and I am given a menu from which I order a large Sapporo beer. A few minutes later the hostess emerges carrying a large cold bottle of Sapporo with a frosty pilsner glass and asks for my order, so I

lay it down. I order the beef sukiyaki and chicken kushiyaki, which are accompanied by miso soup, sunomono, rice, and shrimp and vegetable tempura. I also add an order of sashimi. She promptly takes the order and disappears into the kitchen. Approximately five minutes later the waitress arrives with my miso soup and sunomono (cucumber salad). I stir the contents of the miso soup with my ladle to check its consistency, it’s spot on and the pleasant smells wafting up out of the combined dash, green onions, and miso is exquisite. The flavor is as you would imagine, wonderful. The soup has perfect notes of salty and savory which go well with the green onions and bits of tender tofu. The sunomono tastes better than it looks, which is fantastic. It’s only slightly pickled but is very refreshing, the sweetness of the carrots with the earthiness of the sesame balance the salad very well. Just slightly after finishing the soup and salad did the main attraction then make its appearance; the beef sukiyaki, chicken kushiyaki complete with rice, tempura, and sashimi. The beef sukiyaki looks hearty and smells robust with beefy flavor. The chicken Saeed is a local ‘foodie’ who is always on the kushiyaki is on skewers and arrives on a small hunt for the next great find of the Valley’s plate, it looks a little over cooked but still best-hidden gems.

well executed, so much like several golden pillows which happened to congregate on a plate. The sashimi is excellently plated except for the greens, which as a personal preference I could do without, but it was still very well executed. I taste each dish a little at a time, cleansing my pallet after each bite with a sip of beer and I have to say, each dish is phenomenal. The beef sukiyaki is savory and meaty and full of beefy flavor which is perfectly seasoned. The vegetables are tender and absorb much of the meats’ flavor. The chicken kushiyaki is, as I feared, a little over cooked which resulted in a dry experience. However, the overall flavor of the dish is something of note with the saltiness of the soy combined with the sweetness of the green pepper, they do play well together. The tempura is crisp and perfectly fried, the soy dipping sauce adds a small dash of flavor to each bite. Finally, the sashimi… is fire. Each piece hits my mouth as fresh and clean as one could hope for, and with a little wasabi adding some heat, it’s everything I could want in a piece of raw seafood. Tokyo Garden is a place to explore, a place to get a delicious dish of something familiar and something unfamiliar. It’s also a great place to get drunk and take selfies with the only Godzilla in captivity while also embarrassingly posting videos of yourself doing karaoke onto social media.

Capturing Moments Photography, artistry, life and living from behind the camera with local artist, Arthur Robinson. by Lisa Talley lisa@fresnoflyer.com

“

I live in my head. I over think… in this one particular facet of my life I’m not thinking, I just capture.” When the lights dim and the crowd cozies up to a thundering stage, voices crash down on the sometimes seedy walls of an iconic local nightclub and live-action photographer, Arthur Robinson, is rapid firing from his camera, freezing moments within moments without ever breaking anyone’s concentration. It’s not every photographer who can walk into a scenario without the usual faux pas such as an unwarranted flash in someone’s eye or unwittingly blocking someone’s view all in the name of a beautiful shot. Robinson is a familiar face among the local music scene in Fresno, and if you’ve ever seen him work, you know that by the time he lets you see him he’s probably already taken more than 200 photos. “Photography is the only aspect of my life where it is me living, being a human being.” Robinson shares as he probes the question of why he chooses live-action, and not just liveaction, but live music as his subject. “In overly technical situations, like portraiture, there’s so much time to think, to second guess myself. But in live music [I] don’t get that… [I] have to shoot… or I’ll miss an important moment.” Robinson elaborates that liveaction is an incredibly unpredictable place which requires quick reflexes, the kind of just ’knowing’ what to do rather than a process of analyzing and planning before actually doing. There’s a moment that happens and it’s unclear if it’s going to be the right one, the one that needs to be caught on film, but he’s there anyway assessing the light, the angle, the emotion of the subject and suddenly, without thinking, his hands know what to do, the buttons to push and dials to spin. They pull the focus to perfection, and in a burst the moment is captured. But is it the right one? The one that tells a story in a single frame. It’s a question that bounces around his mind until he’s able to sit down with his photos and take a look, so he continues to fire away until there’s nothing left to capture. He recalls a Rolling Stones song that seems to encapsulate the nature of this a bit further: ’You can’t always get what you want. But if you try sometimes well, you might find you get what you need.’ “Everything I capture, I get because a person gave it to me,” Robinson states about his work. It’s the notion that his photography is able to tell a story because the subject was in a state of creating or giving when the photo was taken. A singer who belts into the microphone, a poet speaking a powerful stanza, or a person

watching the show awash in the message. It’s almost an intuitive process. As an artist, Robinson knows what he would like to capture but what he ends up with is usually something unexpected, yet wonderful. A pleasant surprise that is both telling of the subject and himself as a photographer. In fact, it’s very much akin to how he discovered his style as an artist. In that it felt remarkably accidental, happening in this serendipitous way that seemed ‘meant-to-be’. Photography had always been an interest for Robinson, from polaroids to the ever popular point and shoot disposable

It was a revelation for Robinson to discover that without conscious effort, there was a name for what he was doing, it was street photography. But should it come as such a surprise for a student of Gordon Parks’ work? Founder of the ‘blaxploitation’ film genre, an advocate for social justice, and prominent photojournalist, Gordon Parks earned a legendary reputation through street photography from the 40s to the 70s.

cameras, but it wasn’t until a cross country road trip for an unnamed documentary project in 2012 that things shifted into a more serious pursuit. “I was going on the trip in order to help out, but I didn’t know that I was going to assist on camera as well and my friend gave me a camera and said, ‘Go!’ and [for the entire trip] I just took pictures, it was all I really did. … And I had that Malcolm Gladwell quote in my head, what he said about 10,000 hours being the magic number of greatness and I wanted to relate that to photography. Learning photography in 10,000 photos.” And so the road trip became the training ground, where Robinson’s style was developed. “Sometimes, I would machine gun my shutter and take 6,7,8 photos of the same thing. But I was seeing a progression, seeing the decisive moment [of something] where [the subject] she’s looking at me and feeling a certain type of way,” Robinson says about understanding his own style in those early days, “…and that’s street photography.”

Yet, as influential as being a student of black history was to Robinson, it was also modern technology that helped him find his footing. “Digital gives you the freedom to make mistakes and see where you’re going. Whereas film is limited in the ‘I only have 24 shots and that’s it.’ I could burn through a thousand roles a day, so-to-speak, and not worry about it.” Where some would hail film as the cornerstone of artistry for photographers, Robinson’s sentiments are not entirely the same. To never have to worry about reloading and when to push down the shutter, it leaves one less thing on the table to second guess himself with. It would be worth noting that at this point he might mention that with the good also comes the bad and the digital age has created a world where everyone is a self-proclaimed photographer. However, Robinson doesn’t seem to share that sentiment either. Photographers are boiled down to their perspective, not their equipment, they each have a style created out

Photographer: Arthur Robinson

of that perspective, neither of which relies on technical know-how. Instead, their ‘eye’ is derived from their unique history, their life and experiences bubbling up in their work which makes it all one-of-a-kind. “My perspective makes my photography mine.” A response when posed with the question of what makes Robinson’s work unique from all other photographers. It’s not something that can be adequately articulated, only seen or felt. The work pours out of Robinson as-is, distilled through his perspectives as a black, demisexual, feminist, artist. And the digital age has also provided something incredibly noteworthy for Robinson aside from the ability to burn through thousands of snapshots. It’s the endless possibilities of not only sharing his work, but, as he puts it, the image he captures of Fresno with the rest of the world. “People say ‘there’s nothing to do in Fresno’ which is such a cliche thing to say. And I’m the literal antithesis to that… if there’s nothing to do then why am I here, able to do and show you all of these cool things.” Most all of Robinson’s work is of live-action (musicians, performers, etc.) who are either from the Central Valley or just passing through, making the cool side of the Valley all the more available for the rest of the world to see, not just for those who say ‘there’s nothing to do in Fresno’. Arthur Robinson’s collection is a compilation of artists as well as those who exist in the peripheral, it’s the people, the vendors… those who create the environment and culture around and along with the artists. “I feel a responsibility as a witness [to life] to share all of these moments… having a camera not only helped me into a world I never felt part of before by giving me the confidence to live my own life, but it also led to having a deeper connection with the community [I choose to work in]. It expanded what the word ‘community’ means to me and I have more friends and loved ones because of that.” Arthur Robinson’s work is available online at www.itsartwithwords.com but his most current work can be found on Instagram and Facebook @itsartwithwords where you can stay up to date with where and what he’s up to next.

a calculated restlessness that makes the home as intriguing today as it was in its own day. The 10 rooms are furnished more or less as a Victorian family might have had them the kitchen has a pie safe and the library; a portrait showing the young Dr. Meux on his way to join the Confederate Army. The Meux home was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 14, 1975.
