It's Soundsational!

One of the things I really enjoy at Disneyland is the parade. Mickey’s Soundsational Parade is an explosion of sound, color, and movement. Beyond that, it is just a lot of fun. It captures Disney Magic and puts it in a parade. On Sunday, I was at a unique angle where I was able to capture some of the magic of the parade and couple it with one of the icons of Disney magic, Sleeping Beauty Castle. I’m not entirely sure why but I really like how this picture turned [Read More]

Dear Friends

Disneyland really is a magical place. Sometimes the simplest of things can be such a strong reminder of this. On Saturday while visiting the park I got to watch a young friend experience the magic first hand. I snapped this picture as she had a wonderful moment with Dale I believe. I’m not entirely sure. Either way, they were off in their own little magical world and loving every moment of it. These are the moments that really make Disneyland such a magical experience. These are the things that keep [Read More]

A Busy Sunday

Sunday was really a busy day at Disneyland. No, there weren’t a ton of people there. The morning rain and occasional drizzle throughout the day took care of that. Family Fun Days weren’t so fun as the third day of Character Fan Days were cut short. You can see pictures here though of them from Friday.
Sunday was busy as there was just a lot going on. A wonderful lady who loves to listen to Ragtime Robert at the piano turned 100 and was at the park to celebrate her birthday. [Read More]

Gandalf Has Returned!

To say that there have been a few shakeups through the production process of The Hobbit would be an understatement. One thing that seemed to be a foregone conclusion however was that Ian McKellen would be returning to reprise his role as Gandalf. However, when things began to become more uncertain with who was going to direct, where it was going to be filmed, and even something as basic as financing, McKellen’s role in The Hobbit came into question. I won’t say it came into doubt as I don’t know [Read More]

Elijah Wood Returning to Middle Earth

Anyone who has been reading what I write for any amount of time will recognize that I’m pretty excited about The Hobbit coming to the silver screen. I have been following with bated breath the development of these two movies and have been quite excited by what I’ve been reading. However, I will admit that when I first read a rumor that Elijah Wood was in talks to return to Middle Earth as Frodo Baggins… I was a bit confused. I kept trying to put the puzzle pieces together on [Read More]
