I'm not quite sure why, but this is one of my favorites - a very pensive looking Walt Disney, obviously tired, with an expression that indicates he carries the weight of the world upon his shoulders, taken in his Hyperion Avenue office in November 1938. That looks to be a budget, or some type of financial document on his desk.
When my seven year old daughter saw this photo she remarked, "Why does he look so sad?" Good question. She then quickly added, "Maybe he's trying to figure out a new story." I'd say she's a pretty smart kid.
Maybe he's trying to figure out how to ask brother Roy for more money to help fund one of the many projects the Studio had in production at the time. I suppose we'll never know for sure, but like I said, for some reason this image really appeals to me.
Enjoy!
