It was very interesting to go to Disneyworld with a fairly newborn photographer’s eye. 

I realized how much I have learned…if nothing else, I’ve learned to see.

I remember years ago, taking five rolls of film…most of it was scenes…cluttered scenes.  Later, I remember saying, “I took way too many pictures of ‘stuff’…won’t do that again.”  We went again years later and I only took photos of loved ones in various locations.  Although I hold some of those photos dear, many didn’t capture their essences. 

This time, I took lots of photos of loved ones, as well as many, many, many photos of “stuff.”  But they were deliberate, and the subjects are more clearly defined. 

I found myself in awe of the details…these are what separate Disney properties from other amusement parks.  The architectural detail is quite amazing.  And for some reason, I was drawn to photographing the lights around the various parks.  Why?  I’m not sure—but I noticed them…saw them.  I don’t think I had ever noticed them before. 

So here I will give you a sampling of the details that caught my eye over the nine days we spent there.  If you’d like to see more, check out my flickr———–> 

(There was a birds’ nest in the next one.)

And finally, here’s me in Mickey’s mirror.  🙂
