unicorn gazebo: my life through amusement parks.

i've realized what an affect amusement parks have had on my life through this project. I always knew that they did but I'm realizing even more...strange. I had never before thought to look them up with a tool like google earth and what I find is interesting. For example most of the places especially disneyland and knott's berry (SCARY!) farm the resolution is very low and you can only see an aerial view whereas disneyworld has 3D structures and looks like a little miniature world (which I really liked) and then there is Universal Studios which is also low resolution but is filled with individual picture spots.

The affect these places have had on my life is strangely incredible. People associate me with disneyland (side note...I have always loved disney, the entirety of it...the art, the movies, everything...I want to intern for them and would love to be able to be part of their tea) for example as well as with knott's berry farm's Halloween Haunt which takes place during sept/October and then there is Universal Studios which I loved because of my love of film, ect. Both of these places have played a huge role in my life...mainly up until I moved to San Francisco which puts me much farther away. However I still love, enjoy, and am amazed with these places still.

This project of mapping parts of my life is also bringing back compelling memories of these places that have had such an impact in my life...mainly because of the memories that I have from them which is a nostalgic but good feeling.
