Greetings internet dwellers!
Was down at the park for this weeks edition of Photopalooza. Of course, we have been following the construction over at IOA for quite some time. Now, we can officially, but unofficially, call it King Kong construction. If you have been following, we have been referring to the construction site as things like, "Don't call it King Kong", or "The construction that shall not be named," among others. Well now, thanks to a conference call about Universal's earnings, it's official: the King is indeed returning. No date was given, only that a new Kong attraction is currently under construction at Universal Orlando. Interesting to note that later, Universal declined to say where this new Kong attraction will be located. If King Kong is being constructed elsewhere on Universal property, Universal sure knows how to hide a major construction project well. Anyway, so, yay! Kong is back! Greetings internet dwellers!
Was down at Universal for my weekly visit on Thursday. It was cold. Yes folks, Florida has been a bit on the nippy side the past few days. I don't get cold that easy, and even I was pretty cold. Needless to say, we didn't stick around too long. It should also be noted that Sharknado 3 was filming a few scenes around the Studios as well. I tried to take a few photos, but I kept getting yelled at by Universal security. I did managed to snap a few, which you can view on the Twitter page @HHNLegacy. I think they will be shooting at Universal until Tuesday. If you see the Hot Set with the title "Vortex 3", it's actually Sharknado 3. Anyhow, here are the photos from Thursday. Enjoy! Greetings internet dwellers! Second full trip to Universal with my new camera. Still testing and playing with the settings. Lots of new great photos to enjoy. Nothing much happening over by the construction that shall not be named, at IOA. From the back side, on the road facing Cabana Bay, the giant building has a solid wall. To be honest, I'm not sure how long it's been like that. Anyway, enjoy the photos. Happy Friday the 13th everyone! In the spirit of the date, I decided to do something a little fun. The Friday the 13th films, are my favorite of the slasher genre. Jason is my favorite character from the slasher genre. Sure, the original Halloween is a horror masterpiece. Sure Freddy Krueger has a "personality". Sure Scream is better written. However, I really have fun with these movies. They don't take themselves seriously and even at their worst, the Friday franchise is still a whole lot of fun. I grew up watching these films. I still remember the first time I watched a Friday the 13th movie. It was late at night. I was alone. I remember sitting in front of that small screen, and scared out of my gourd. I was 8, sue me. Which one? Well, you'll have to wait as we get there on the countdown. Let's get started. 12. JASON GOES TO HELL: THE FINAL FRIDAY![]()

Well, that's it. Enjoy you Friday the 13th everyone! Greetings internet dwellers! So, to make a long story short, I got me a brand spankin' new camera. I went down to Universal today, to have some fun and test it out. It's been a LONG time since I've had a real working camera, or messed with the intricacies of photography. I have not fiddled with meters, f-stops, shutter speeds, depth of field, or light sensitivity since I left film school really. I will be using the camera for further adventures in the future. Hopefully, I will be able to bring you guys some nice quality photos moving forward. I will also be using the camera to shoot stuff for Youtube. This includes My Talking Head, and perhaps, some short films. |
