Disney’s GIANT new investment into their California Adventure Park is going to debut in just a few short months, now. I’ve been following the construction for the last two years on various blogs and when visiting the park and it’s really exciting to see Disney perform magic on this scale. A 12-acre expansion to an existing theme park is a serious commitment.

Recently, the put on display the HUGE scale model of the new Carsland project in the Blue Sky Cellar where they show off all kinds of concept art. This place is a constant source of inspiration for me as a graphic designer, from attraction posters to concept art to scale models like this one. If you have time, go check it out in person – it’s really great.

On a completely unrelated note, here are two random other shots that I’m posting just because.

It’s been a VERY busy few… make that several… weeks. We’re pretty slammed at Version-X and I’ve got way too much freelance going on at home, too. Lots of new projects happening, though. One of these days, maybe I’ll be able to update the portfolio. Here’s a peek at what’s been going on. Follow me over on twitter / instagram for more peeks at my day-to-day.

Toyed around with the new gear at Disneyland a couple nights ago. Here are a couple of snaps.

The moon was so bright and beautiful last night that I couldn’t resist taking a break from work projects to go outside and photograph it for a while. I shot this using a tripod and cable trigger on my Canon 7D with a 75-300mm EOS lens (no IS, hence the slight blur and need for sharpening in post). One of these days, I’d love to find somebody with a good telescope that I could mount my camera to for some nice, clean moon shots.

About 3 months ago, my brother told me that he was going to propose to his long-time girlfriend and he asked that Mike and I be there to help him capture the moment with some photos and video. He decided to pop the question at her favorite place – Disneyland – which made for some really magical (yes, pun intended!) moments for the two of them. All in all it was a really fun day and I’m glad we were there to capture it for them.
