Your Disney Dream Job...

Not every photographer at the Disney World theme parks is a mindless drone clicking a neutered camera set on automatic. Though, some of the shooters I talked with had no clue what shutter speed or aperture they were using, there are many true pros shooting for the mouse. These "real" shooters are often used to cover weddings, corporate events and celebrity/VIP meet and greets.

It wouldn't be such a bad life, getting to walk around a beautiful resort, documenting people's special moments... I spotted this guy working with a new bride as I walked back to my room. It reminded me of an extended talk I had with another photog at the resort a few years ago. It sounded like these guys got to shoot a lot of fun stuff.

Disney World Speedotron Heads...

This kills me every time I go back to Disney World and see it. They used some Speedotron 202VF heads to decorate a sunglass stand outside of the Muppets 3-D Theater show! When I think about all the good photos these heads could be used on, it makes me cry a little inside. For those of you who haven't used any Speedo gear, especially the 202VF heads, they are great for studio work! They deserve a much better life than this...

Really, I get sad looking at all the old movie fresnel lights they use to decorate the parks, too. I love the old silver screen look, and I could probably repurpose some of the movie lights to use in my photos.
