As I often do on the weekend, I walked to Disneyland today. I like to walk and once I get going I don't like to stop. But as I was almost out of Town Square my eye caught on the mail box outside the Emporium and I paused for a moment, thinking to the photos posted today at
Gorillas Don't Blog. As it happened, this ever-so-slight pause (it couldn't have been more than four seconds) gave me opportunity to run into a friend on her way into work. I don't remember what song was playing on the Main Street loop, but I imagine it must have been Fortuosity.
I stopped because I thought it would be interesting to capture similar photos. I think this first one embodies the spirit of what that photographer is all about, but I didn't get the framing exactly right (

I didn't get the second one quite right, either. I guess he or she just had a very unique perspective that is impossible to duplicate! (

Awesome!! You added an extra degree of "Batman"-style tilt to yours - I heartily approve!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how much the town square area has changed. Of course the Main Street shot is different too, but the basic buildings are still there.
Good try! I think the original photographer must have had a lens that wasn’t as wide as yours, thus the effect that the Opera House and the Main Street Cinema look much farther away in your pics.
ReplyDeleteMajor - I think I'll take these photos every time I go to the Park until I get it right.
ReplyDeleteSundayNight - While your explanation makes some rational sense, I prefer to believe that Main Street has just been slowly expanding since 1955.
