…starring Dorin Godwin and John Carson.

On July 11, GBACG held a bustle-themed event at Pescadero State Beach near Half Moon Bay. We enjoyed amazing weather and much Victorian camaraderie.

Here are some of my photos from the event…

In honor of the 40th anniversary of the NASA’s Apollo 11 mission, I present SPACE!-THEMED FRIVOLITY on a GRAND, SATURN V-SIZED SCALE!

Need a ROCKET EXPERIENCE?  Buzz Aldrin can coach you in much the same way he coached Buzz Lightyear.

Oh, and GReat Images in Nasa has a crudload of really spiffy SPACE! pictures. And many rockets.

This animation sequence was released as  the “Blue Bayou” segment in Walt Disney’s Make Mine Music (1946), one of several Walt Disney “composite” releases of the mid-late 1940s.  Originally, however, it was created to accompany Claude Debussy’s Clair de Lune as an additional segment for Fantasia.  Initially, Mr. Disney had intended Fantasia to be a fluid, changing concept, to which new pieces would be added with each re-release. For a number of reasons (the 1941 animators’ strike, WW2,…), that concept didn’t pan out (at least, not until Fantasia 2000…kind of). In 1998, the original version of Clair de Lune was restored and screened at the London Film Festival.

I’ve uploaded some of my New York photos to my gallery, including more from Corona Park!
