Harry Potter is quickly becoming my forced-upon muse. I got a call from The New York Times last week to head back up to Universal Orlando to shoot at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter again – followers of this blog will remember that Harry Potter made a few appearances last year as well (here, here, and here). Ironically for the same clients. So I grabbed my invisibility cloak and headed up for an early morning trip back to Orlando [...]

Convincing her that a 2-day Travel assignment for The New York Times (article here) to a sneak peek the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter amusement park at Universal Orlando was work – tough. I spent two mornings with a select group of [...]
