Sleeping Beauty Castle Photo Request

[danny_g]

Hi Everybody,
I'm brand new here and haven't posted on this forum before... as a matter of fact, I haven't posted on ANY forum before! (So I hope I don't do anything wrong!) I'm mainly here because I'm trying to find a professional/semi-professional photo of Sleeping Beauty Castle to frame for my girlfriend for her birthday. When we went (June last year) it was rather overcast and the nighttime pictures I took were none too good. I've looked everywhere on the internet and found a few very nice ones but the file sizes were probably too small for the size of photo I'm after (we're talking poster size). I also found a print of that great painting by Thomas Kinkade (if you haven't seen it, check it out, it's breathtaking) but as beautiful as the painting is, it just isn't the REAL thing. There was also a photo submitted by Julie Harrison on www.themouseforless.com for the desktop downloads (but alas, too small for the size of photo I want, otherwise it would have been perfect). I'd go and get a better shot of the castle myself but we live in Australia so it's not exactly five minutes down the road. I'm willing to pay for the right photo as it would mean so much to me to know that everytime Sarah wakes up, the first thing she sees is Disneyland. The ideal present. If you can help, let me know - danny_g_mcnamara@hotmail.com. Sorry for the super long post (it's my first one, I've got a lot to say). Any help would be tremendously appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Ok, here's a website---

www.davelandweb.com

This guy has some REALLY good pics of Sleeping Beauty's Castle, from 1955-present, So you may be able to get a pic of the castle from the same month/year you went! Simply click on the Disneyland photography link, locate the Sleeping Beauty's Castle Page, and presto!
All photos are available for enlargements, but I'm not sure just how "large" they get. You'll have to send him an email for specifics. Also, tell him that you're from Australia, because some American institutions won't ship that far... But you should give it a chance!

Also, it may take some time to find that perfect, professional photo of the castle. I suggest looking at every photo. AAS long as this task may seem, you need to make sure you didn't miss any! Also, the man who runs thesite goes frequently, and I'm sure you could request a photo from a certain angle, time of day, etc. of the castle.

Good luck with your search! I hope I've helped.

I would contact VFs resident photographer, DaddyB. About a year ago, he was selling poster size pictures of the castle on a very well known auction site. Possibly he still has 1 for sale.
