La Teresina was a famous Spanish Flamenco dancer who stage name was here only known name.

Dody Weston Thompson (1923-2012), a student of Edward Weston's and an assistant to Ansel Adams, eventually became a major figure in the West Coast Photographic Movement, which was championed by Weston and Adams as well as other renowned photographers such as Imogen Cunningham and Minor White. Briefly married to Brett Weston in 1952, she was a founding member of Aperture magazine, Weston Thompson's influence has largely been attributed to her articles in that publication and to her writing on the subject of Edward Weston, yet her photography was recognized among aficionados. In a career spanning 59 years, Weston Thompson earned the prestigious Alfred M. Bender Award for Photography (preceded only by Ansel Adams). Through her writing, she is well known for articulating the goals of the West Coast Photographic Movement, including an emphasis on sharp focus and unique perspective⎯a rejection of the romantic and blurred images of the earlier Pictorialist style. Popular primarily during the 1940s and 1950s, the West Coast Photographic Movement represents a critical era in the history of American photography.
