As you know, I love getting marketing kits and promotional materials and then laying everything out for a photograph. And it is extremely rare that I’m disappointed by anything from The CW network, as their kits are always gorgeous and well planned out. Today I received advance screeners of many of the new fall shows. These aren’t review copies, so I really shouldn’t say anything other than I was really surprised by some of the charming and clever new shows. I haven’t watched Arrow yet, in case you’re wondering.

This past weekend, my family finally made it out to Legoland Florida. My daughter had a great time on all the rides, and we all enjoyed all the fun, little details in the Lego cities at Miniland, USA. I especially like how television news vans were well represented. Here’s a few shots of the mini news media in action.
Here’s an important press conference at City Hall. I think I see a miniature Lenslinger in there amongst the Lego photogs.
Here’s a news crew being hassled by the police (or possibly getting directions) on the National Mall.
And I found this news van headed to an important news conference in Miami’s South Beach.

The Daily Buzz received an oddly labeled box today which had some (fictional) Republic of Wadiya currency taped to the top. Once ripped open, there was a wealth of “become your own Dictator” items, and what I presume are beer kegger cups. We’ve already started taking photos of staff members as ruthless Wadiya dictators, and will – no doubt – be featuring this stuff on the show.

This weekend we braved the crows and heat, returning to The Magic Kingdom so that Eliza and her buddy could ride the Barnstormer roller coaster (and so that I can get more trading cards for the Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom game). I took this snap while enduring the ups and down and general nausea of riding a roller coaster with acute motion sickness.

With the release of the Avengers this weekend, I decided to get The Daily Buzz hosts all assembled in various Hasbro gear for this fun photo for the show’s Facebook fan page.

The FedEx truck rolled up today, delivering an important ‘metal’ case (which I suspect was sent from my contact in SHIELD).
Exterior view: “Break Seal In Case of Global Emergency”
Interior view: Box opens to The Avengers team, each in their own compartment (not shown: Each of the heroes’ names on each of the box flaps when you open the box)
Interview 2: There’s a bunch of cool Iron Man and Hulk gear below the action figure tray.
I had another promo shoot at Disneyworld this week, and took a few snaps of Michelle and her “pirate mentor” Mac. She was a real trooper, nailing a paragraph pf promo lines in one take, and walking across the entire park for another set-up (though we did a wheelchair on standby if she wanted it).
I’m loving my FujiX100. It’s made me return to carrying a camera again at the theme parks (the whole giant DSLR things wasn’t working for me). Here’s two Disney snaps that I took this past week.
The first, being the lobby wall at the soon-to-open Disney’s Art of Animation Resort – which is crazy colorful. It feels like being in a Mass Effect night club.
And then there’s this shot, right at the base of Spaceship Earth at Epcot – which looks spectacular from just about any angle.
