Well, I feel stupid. The contact form on my website hasn't been working for at least a month, maybe more. If you have tried to contact me to book a gig, I'm terribly sorry! If it hasn't passed by now, and you still need someone, reach out again! It's working now, I promise!

I haven't posted much, because I have been shooting & editing like crazy! A month ago I shot this beautiful wedding at the Maitland Art and History Museum, and the #bride and #groom wanted to have a friendly #wizard vs #jedi battle!

For my honeymoon, I decided storage was cheap enough that I bought a whole ass terabyte for my camera.

Tonight was the first time I did a photography gig since then, and I cannot recommend this enough. Put a whole ass terabyte into your camera.

Wedding prep! I haven't done a wedding since before my own wedding, and most of my gear was still in honeymoon mode, so I am literally reassessing everything for this one!

You woke up this morning, no work, no responsibilities, you had other plans: To explore other Universes. Which portal are you going through first?

This one isn't as good, but I love the angle and framing of it, so I can't resist sharing two!

"At break of dawn the god of light, a bow he draws with all his might, his flaming arrow in it's flight, will burn away the darkest night"

I thought this quote fitting for tonight, because tomorrow as night burns away #EpicUniverse opens its portals for real for the first time.

This banner has been hanging over the door forever, I've always assumed it was old. But they actually won again in 2022! Tiffins (Animal Kingdom) and Magellan's (Disney Sea) are some of the other winners recently.

I agree with Tiffins as one of the best, but Magellan's was closed when I was there!

It's time to admit something. I've lived in Orlando for almost 20 years, been coming to the Orlando theme parks for my whole life, and I've never eaten at Mythos, the #1 theme park restaurant in the world.

Until yesterday, that is. The verdict? Pretty good! The best? Probably not.

But very pretty!

I took over a thousand photos of the St Pete GP earlier this year, so when I went looking for a #PremaRacing pic to post for Robert #Shwartzman taking pole position for the #Indy500, this is the only one I have! I wish I had more!

Orlando Photo @orlandophoto.bsky.social · May 17

Watching #Indy500 qualifying today makes me really glad I went to the #StPeteGP earlier this year! I know some of the names and faces much better than going in cold. And taking pictures of fast cars is fun!

Walking around #Tokyo #Disneyland there is so much that feels familiar to someone who grew up going to Walt Disney World, but then you turn around or go around a corner, and it feels like a whole new world.

The idea that people with kids aren't already booking whole vacations around a Nintendo theme park is bonkers.

Orlando Photo @orlandophoto.bsky.social · May 14

The idea that the only thing people want to do is wait in line for rides is downright bonkers.

Orlando Photo @orlandophoto.bsky.social · May 14

That point doesn't address it, it makes a lot of assumptions. That is a very WDW centric view of how people plan.

People won't be adding Epic as a day onto their Disney vacations.

They are already planning whole vacations around just Epic and UO.

And with that, I am done with this conversation.

Orlando Photo @orlandophoto.bsky.social · May 14

Thank you for ignoring everything in every point I'm trying to make. It's not just about the list of rides available in a park, and you keep bringing it back to that.

So I'm walking away from this conversation.

Orlando Photo @orlandophoto.bsky.social · May 14

I'm not saying Disney is going out of business here.

I'm just saying there is way more to do in Epic than just the checklist of rides would make it seem.

The new lands Disney would point to are kinda just pretty places to walk through, and Epics lands have a lot more.

Orlando Photo @orlandophoto.bsky.social · May 14

Would a kid rather wait 2 hours for Ratatouille & watch their parents drink with nothing to do

Or

Spend 2 hours waiting for Mario Kart & play all the Nintendo mini games (while the parents can still drink)

Orlando Photo @orlandophoto.bsky.social · May 14

Again, looking at just the list of rides doesn't work for this argument. During a summer vacation, you might be able to do 2 of those + living with the land, because you're going to spend all of your time in line.

I can't see many kids loving living with the land or spaceship earth.

Orlando Photo @orlandophoto.bsky.social · May 14

Compared to Pandora or Galaxy's Edge, where the only thing to do is walk through the land and ride the ride.

Orlando Photo @orlandophoto.bsky.social · May 14

I think only looking at a list of rides available in Epic specifically is a mistake. Epic doesn't have many rides to begin with. But there is a lot to do.

You could spend all day playing the games in Nintendo, playing with the wands in Potter, and never ride a single ride.
