The signals they have keep coming & going! I should've bought that Bob Panich LED signal earlier, but now there's 2 1980s Aldridge 300mm signals.
Inside the middle (yellow) section. The reflector is made from either glass or porcelain rather than metal, so be careful when handling those signals!
In 1927 Paramount Pictures purchased over 2,000 acres for use as a "movie ranch." For 25 years, a veritable who's who of Hollywood practiced their craft at Paramount Ranch including director Cecil B. Demille and actors Bob Hope, Gary Cooper and Claudette Colbert. After World War II the golden era of movie making at Paramount Ranch came to an end when the studio sold the property. In 1952 Bill Hertz bought 326 acres that still bear the Paramount name. An ardent fan of movie westerns, he built a permanent western town utilizing Paramount Pictures' old prop storage sheds. As a result, television companies began producing westerns at the ranch. In 1980 the National Park Service purchased the land and revitalized the old movie ranch. It is still used occasionally as the setting for movies and television shows.
After growing up with Universal Studios, I was jaded to backlots until I visited Paramount Pictures. This lot is small, but stunning in its detail. The buildings are unique and look real from many angles. The architecture is not specific and quite varied, but those details just slayed me. Even the cracks in the sidewalk were planned by an art director. I stayed far too long, but adored the Paramount Pictures backlot.
The old Paramount Theater was revitalized and repurposed as an arts theater before I was born. Today it's one of the most beautiful buildings in downtown Aurora.
Every so often I can get a B&W shot to turn out well enough that it makes me stop and say, "Wow!" This happens to be one of those shots. There's a good full range of tones from deep black all the way to bright white, with a continuous, rich palette of middle greys in between. One of these days I'll learn how to make all of my B&W shots look this good!

View across Times Square to the Paramount Building at 1501 Broadway.
----------
Times Square is a major commercial intersection in Midtown Manhattan at the junction of Broadway and Seventh Avenue and stretching from West 42nd to West 47th Streets.
Iconified as the "Crossroads of the World", it is the brightly illuminated hub of the Broadway theatre district, one of the world's busiest pedestrian intersections, and a major centre of the world's entertainment industry.
Built in 1931, Charlottesville's Paramount Theater has held a starring role both now and in the past. Once a home for movies and community events, The Paramount's doors were closed for thirty years before recent restoration returned the theater's former glory.
