disney shot of the month

This shot is from a show called The Jedi Training Academy.  It’s one of my favorite shows at the park because little kids get to fight Darth Vader and Darth Maul.  Some kids are super brave and fight like champs.  Some are nervous.  Some completely run off stage.  No matter what, I’m always entertained.  This last time, my cousin’s boys both went through the “training” and it was so cute and exciting!  They used the Force and beat the bad guys.  How awesome is that for two little Star Wars fans??

disney shot of the month

Since I’m such a fan, I wanted to try a new feature where I pick my fave Disney shot of the month.  I take so many pictures at the park, that it’s a little embarrassing.  But I have always been one to embrace my nerdy side.  So holla if you love it!

around town – los angeles photographer

Yesterday I went out for a little drive.  I’ve been wanting to try and find a good spot to take some Downtown LA shots.  And on my first try, low and behold, I found a pretty decent place!  Granted, it was a horrible time of day to be shooting, so I’ll be going back at night to get some pretty city photos.  But the best part of my day was that everywhere I went, I saw something interesting.  This is pretty common for my neck of the woods.  I absolutely love where I live for many reasons, including these:

Downtown L.A.

neighborhood/horseback

Kitchy Neighborhoods and Random Horse Riders

car through puddle

Beamers Playing in Big Puddles

Griffith Park

Parks & Pretty Evening Light

And that’s just the stuff I actually took pictures of.  (Sometimes there is just nowhere to pull over!)  I honestly can’t recall a time where I’ve gone out and I wasn’t at least slightly amused by something.  I really dig you, Los Angeles.

Love,
