Self assignments at Disney...

After a hiatus of several years my family is finally heading back to Disney this year (the week after Thanksgiving). It already dominates the conversation as we talk about the things we are going to do and laugh about things we've done in the past.

The challenge for photographers is to shoot something different while you are there (because really, what photographer would take a Disney vacation and not bring their camera?).

Last week Scott Kelby wrote about giving yourself a self-assignment at Disney World (I know, I know, I often refer to Scott, but considering his contribution to the world of photography, why wouldn't I?).
