Tales from the Laughing Place Magazine launches blog and photo site

(September 21, 2009) Today Tales from the Laughing Place Magazine announced the launch of its new blog The Art of Telling Tales on the Blogger.com network.

“Since we launched our first issue back in ’04 our readers have asked us to release additional photographs and artwork that we could not feature in our issues,” Tales Publisher Lee J. MacDonald reveals. “We were able to bolster our print content with our online presence at talesfromthelaughingplace.com but we have decided that an online blog will allow us greater flexibility and freedom to build on the stories we have featured in our quarterly publication. We are aiming to update the blog on a near-daily basis with articles that expand on our printed coverage and also cover news and rumors from around all Disney business units. Our editorial team will also offer insight and commentary on recent news events.”

Art of Telling Tales will feature exclusive content from Walt Disney Imagineering’s research library and rare photography from around the Walt Disney Company. The first series of posts will focus on the D23 Expo that was recently held at the Anaheim Convention Center. The posts will include images from the models on show within the Walt Disney Parks & Resorts showcase from angles that only Tales were permitted to photograph.
