my glass i saw: East of Eden

[Brian Moore]

This is the marquee of The Bay Theater in Seal Beach, California. It's an old venue and once a week they feature a classic film. Whatever film it is they're showing they roll the actual film, on a reel, through an old projector.

During quiet moments you can hear the old projector whirring softly behind you as you enjoy the cinema as it was originally intended.

I took this image with my Kodak Brownie Hawkeye Flash camera with the flipped lens. I believe I held the shutter open for about 6 seconds.

Nice. I like the back-to-front Z in the title - they must have used all their S's up!! And no spots - have you been cleaning?!!

Flipped lens??

This I really like ... Its up there with the shot of the chair for me ... which i believe was also shot with the hawkeye?
Maybe you should use it more!

Pete,...Thank you. And, LOL,...Yeah,...I must have wiped the scanner glass before that scan. (Trying to be a good boy!)

Hamish,...Thank you. Yes, flipped lens on this one. I took "Sunlight Falling On A Chair" with a different Hawkeye whose lens I left in the conventional position.
