About Our Big Picture

People taking pictures of people taking pictures of people taking pictures.

For any story about any particular gathering of people, there is invariably an accompanying image of said gathered people. Setting those gathered in theme parks apart from crowds gathered elsewhere: the proliferation of cameras (held high and often). In this shot, 24-year veteran Orlando Sentinel photographer, Joe Burbank, captured such an occurrence at Disney’s Hollywood Studios during the opening ceremonies of the park’s re-vamped “Star Tours” attraction.

Complete coverage of the event can be found on the Orlando Sentinel website, along with a photo gallery containing another 44 images from Joe, mostly featuring aliens, Jedi, Sith lords, stormtroopers, the occasional Disney CEO and plentiful George Lucas sightings.

You can see more of Joe’s work, particularly his political assignments, on his photo blog:
