Disney’s Cars Land
Cars Land – one of the huge reasons to head to Disney California Adventure. Disney’s Cars Land See the photo above? The crew members walked us back at opening…this prevents people from running and trampling over each other just to get to the line first…they walk you nice and slowly. Get to the park early to ensure you’re upfront and ready! Okay – some things you need to know: The fast past distribution centre is by ‘it’s tough to be a bug’ not by the…

Disney’s Pixar Parade
The Pixar Parade – at Disney California Adventure. Disney’s Pixar Parade The parade was so much fun…note, you will get wet! The characters spray water. Best spot to watch, across from The Little Mermaid ride…and just like your spot at Disneyland, you can sneak back to Paradise Pier and enjoy the rides with shorter lines! Enjoy the photos. My favourite are the flying girls from Toy Story. What’s her name? Jessie, yes – that’s it. Jessie flies and flies over the rails. It’s fun for…

Disneyland Parade
Disneyland Parade Disneyland! Best place to take a picture with Sleeping Beauty’s Castle – the right side…you’ll get the water, the whole castle and very little foot traffic interruption (plus, no one in the background). Awesome spot. For watching the Parade…watch between the Castle and the Matterhorn Bobsleds – you can only sit on the Castle side (you can’t sit along the fence opposite) which means that all the characters will look directly at you…it’s so much fun. Sit on the ground right up until…

Photos: Pacific Costal Highway
Pacific Costal Highway The highway was beautiful – I’ll let the pictures do most of the talking. We travelled down the Pacific Costal Highway over a couple of days – it was a little tricky in our Boler, yet Bryce managed well. Be sure to stop a long the way, enjoy the ride and take in the view. Elephant seals on the coast – playing and swimming ashore. Something funny – there are campsites right on the shore, you won’t be able to sleep much…

Photos: Detroit
Detroit A few weeks ago I was in Detroit and I took some shots in the heart of the motor city. These photos make me happy and make me sad, all at once. I love Detroit and as a kid I used to dream of living in the big city – and Detroit was the closest big city. Baseball games, huge highways, towering buildings, and fancy airports. It was like the hub of awesomeness. I remember, as a kid, going to Tiger’s Stadium (that was…

Photos: Moose
A Moose! Two of them! In my backyard! So unbelievably awesome! Moose This happened on Sunday – yesterday – and just the day before I finished a photography course at a local university on how to use my camera in manual – like do everything in manual. Perfection – Pressure. Those are the two things I felt. Nothing like a little pressure, or an 800lbs momma moose in your face to make all of your knowledge come back so you can get a great shot.…
