Not exactly a Mickey Mouse obsession

For the past 4 years, my husband has had a business trip in Florida.

  Orlando...Disney World to be exact. 

 I always get to tag along and hang out with the other wives

 while they guys are meeting and such. 

 We shop a little [a lot!] too. 

Well, this year, he has 2 business trips to Florida...

yep,both to Disney.

 

This time I decided to spend some time

 hanging out with my camera.

We had a great time, she [he?] and I.

[completly random side note...does your camera have a name?]

[another random side note...mine does not]

 

Our hotel happened to be accross the street from  Downtown Disney.

There is lots of Mickey Mouse stuff to be had.  Minnie too. 

And Toy Story. And Monsters Inc.

And. And. And....

Well, you get the idea.

 

I took 2 lenses with me [24mm and 85mm] and

began to shoot whatever drew my attention.

I'm always careful not to photograph other

people's children without asking.  It just seems too

weird in this day and age...

I found myself shooting lots of "leading lines"...

 

 

Yes, I noticed there were some kiddos in that first photo.

They're pretty out of focus though, so I'm good with that.

 

There's also a hot air balloon ride. 

It's completely tethered, so in my mind, completely safe.

It simply goes up and comes down, all the while tethered

safely [!] to the ground by huge/great big/gargantuan/did you see all those cables.

Every year we want to ride the hot air balloon.

Hasn't happened yet.

[although as of this writing, we are still in Florida, so you never know]

In the meantime, I continue to have an obsession with it.

Out of the 144 shots of random stuff, probably 60 were of

this ...

This last one is really all about the umbrellas, mkay?

 

I kept wandering and found this.

Lots of snaps of this too, however I will spare you.

They all look pretty much like this.

Not sure what I was seeing each time I clicked my shutter

that necessitated so many shots.

 

And then.

 

I found this.

Don't you love it?

What?

It's a lightbulb.

and

I

was

OBSESSED.

Wait.

There's more.

It's okay.

My husband didn't get it either.

[please don't tell anybody I spent about 40 minutes

snapping away at these lightbulbs...I'm sure

they won't understand]

 

I did take a few other cool shoots.

 

Like this one...

I don't know why it reminds me of an old Hollywood movie.

 

Oh, and I'll leave you with this one at the bar.

[No. I didn't have a drink.  It's against the law to drink and shoot.  For real]
