Spaceship Earth Through the Years

Posted on by Scott Thomas
I have photographed Walt Disney World since 1983. Most of those early photos need to be found and scanned. I do have thousands of digital photos (and a few scans) I can share.

Face to Mask with the Dark Side at Galaxy’s Edge

Posted on by Scott Thomas
When visiting the Black Spire Outpost on Batuu inside Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, one never knows who you may come face to mask with.

Gorilla Photography at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Posted on by Scott Thomas
It is not every walk on the Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail in Disney’s Animal Kingdom which is photographically satisfying. Often the Gorillas are either not moving or hiding behind trees. However, on most visits, the bachelor troup is often very active.
