Relaxing?

There is nothing remotely relaxing about a Walt Disney World holiday, well not the way I do it anyway. This is a shot of Greg and Ed and myself in the Contemporary foyer a cool 11 years ago. They are a bit bigger now. Notice the Mary Blair in the background. I didn't know anything about her when this photo was taken. I've been educated since.

Disney Family Museum

Hi Folks, Sorry I have not posted for a few days. However, Robin and I have been for a lightning weekend trip to San Francisco. The main item on the agenda was a trip to the Walt Disney Family Museum. This is separate from the Disney Corporation and was set up by his daughter Diane Disney Miller. It's a positive treasure trove of all things Walt. Over the next few days, I will post some of the photos I took there and tell you about what you can find if you decide to make the trip yourself. One of the main reasons for our visit at this time was a chance to see the Mary Blair Exhibition. More on that tomorrow. For now here is a photo of the outside of the building. It's located in the historic Presido section of the city. Very impressive part of town worth a visit just on it's own.

Hmmm, What's this got to do with San Francisco?

Tomorrow Robin and I are jetting off for a very quick trip to San Francisco. What's that go to do with Photographing Disney I hear you ask. Well we are going to visit the Disney Family Museum in SF. They are holding a Mary Blair exhibition we are keen to see. Mary was a designer working directly for Walt on many projects in the 50s and 60 including the designs for It's a Small World for the Worlds Fair in New York, Alice in Wonderland and much more. I hope to be able to take a few photos to show over the next few days. Something a little different but still photographing Disney!
