Thinking Lincoln
3.29.2004 9:56 PM \| Link	Here's a photo I took at the Lincoln Memorial during my last visit there with my pal Tom (before he joined the Peace Corps). I really liked the difference in scale - the small boy looking up at the huge statue (if he had been a little closer I would have gone vertical so I could get Lincoln's head, but I'm still happy with the composition). Being at the Lincoln Memorial is pretty somber, since everyone is so quiet and reverent, but it really is a beautiful place to be. Of course, when I was there, I couldn't help thinking of two things. First, Walt Disney was a big admirer of Lincoln, which is why he put so much energy into the development of the Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln attraction for the 1964 World's Fair (now at Disneyland, of course). Second, there's a hilarious Ren & Stimpy episode where they decide to find a way inside Lincoln's head since Stimpy thinks it's full of caramel corn! Labels: life
