Los Feliz Theatre

Posted by Suzanne (Huntington Bch, California, United States) on 13 November 2008 in Abstract & Conceptual and Portfolio.

On a sentimental wandering through my childhood neighborhood I shot several images using a beat up old Brownie Hawkeye camera. As a kid I used to spend many Saturday afternoons at this theatre taking in a double feature, usually westerns, a cartoon and a serial. Ah, those were the days. I used to go there alone too. Can you imagine parents even considering allowing their children to do that today?

Great memories from the good old days. I like the retro look with the soft focus and B&W.
I remember taking a bus for 25 cents about 5 miles from home to a small theatre like this. Almost forgot about that, thanks for stirring up the memory.

Edge-to-edge nostalgia here . . yes, how the world has changed for children today. Lovely shot.

Nice result and perfect subject matter for your brownie, I would keep this Brownie close by as its one fine camera.
