Thanks Ivar.

Timetravel! I knew you were good Pete but .........

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Nice set Pete a great sense of the place. Love the reels of film, it would be great to sit at home with those to see what is what.

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Julian. They were stacked up everywhere. Ina has a colleague who's hobby is old films and he has a home cinema complete with projector and a high collection of films. We have yet to visit but he has invited us round some time.

Sounds like a good invite Pete. A nice arm chair and bottle of IPA , I love that beam of light you get with the old reals. It's been awhile though since I have seen one.

The light, exposure and colour is just beautiful and charm and warmth is everywhere. Every one is a gem.
I could look at these all night and the little screen pulled down on to the top of the piles of reels is a lovely sight. I hope this place survives for ever.

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Tom. It is part of a 'living' museum within the confines of Prague Castle. It was quiet when we were there but I guess for much of the time it is packed and almost impossible to photograph. The cinema was very atmospheric though.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Classic Askew. Really interesting venue. Beautifully subdued highs. Every shot seems well thought out. Great stuff!

 

[Brian Moore]

Excellent set with delightful colors, but I think #3 is a cracker with all those film cans. Lovely stuf, Pete.

 

[Glenn Clabo]

I will second all the words used by others here. Then my own wonderful is added. There is a comfort to these that brings me back. Well done sir.
