Neon lights splash colour on the rain soaked pavement in the Granville Entertainment District. This was a logging road in the late 1800's, dense with trees and wild animals. By the 1950's, it had one of the world's largest displays of neon signs. Looking south west down Granville Street, someone waits for the oncoming bus while the traffic lights at Smithe Street turn green.

Eric and I did a tour inside the Orpheum theatre. It wasn't as amazing as the insane decorations inside the Opera Garnie in Paris, but still, it was much more interesting than I imagined.
The Orpheum, Downtown, Vancouver.
History...
Designed by Scottish architect Marcus Priteca and constructed over a ten-month period beginning in January 1927, the theatre officially opened as the New Orpheum on November 8 as a vaudeville house, but it hosted its first shows the previous day. The old Orpheum, at 761 Granville Street, was renamed the Vancouver Theatre (later the Lyric, then the International Cinema, then the Lyric once more before it closed for demolition in 1969 to make way for the first phase of the Pacific Centre project). When it opened, it was the biggest theatre in Canada with 3000 seats. The first manager of the theatre was William A. Barnes....more here

Per thecanadianencyclopedia.ca:
"The Orpheum Theatre, built in Vancouver 1926-27, was designed by Marcus Priteca (1889-1971) for the Chicago-based Orpheum Circuit, which toured high-class vaudeville acts and short films, even as feature-length movies were becoming the popular entertainment of choice. In its original building permit the Orpheum was classified as a movie palace, based on its almost 2800-seat capacity, extravagant decor, and full provisions for cinema projection. Now a rare survivor of the palace type, it was once among a group of 17 similar theatres built throughout Canada. "
This is the view of the stage through the doors at the top of the balcony.

Six shots merged in Photoshop Elements. The ISO is phenomenally high, 12800, but I think it turned out well.
The Orpheum Theatre, a 2,308-seat venue listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is located in downtown Memphis, Tennessee, on the southwest corner of the intersection of South Main and Beale streets. Originally built as a vaudeville house in 1928 to replace the fire-ravished Grand Opera House, which had been located on the same site, the Orpheum has been the Mid-South home of touring Broadway productions since 1977. Since it first opened in 1928, the Orpheum has dazzled patrons with its artisan millwork, gilding, original fixtures, a Mighty Wurlitzer organ, and architectural beauty. Saved by the Memphis Development Foundation (MDF) in 1977, the Orpheum was one of the first buildings in Memphis placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Under the leadership of the MDF, in the last 35 years the Orpheum has undergone more than $15 million in renovation and improvements that have made it a world-class performing arts facility while preserving the historical and architectural integrity of the vaudeville palace.

She being the “Magnificent Orpheum Theatre” in downtown Vancouver as 41 photographers descended on her for a two hour photowalk this afternoon.
Arranged by the Vancouver Photowalks Meet-up Group, we had two hours to shoot this beautiful building to our hearts content.
We heard a bit about it’s history, built in 1927 as a silent movie theatre. We were shown it’s wonderful pipe organ console “Orpheous” and heard some tales of ghosts that haunt the theatre.
This is my first upload, three shots merged in Photoshop Elements, the view from the stage towards the seats, with many of us hurriedly taking photos.
It’s a bit Daliesque and distorted from the wide angle lens and the merge process. It looks like the chandelier is swinging! At first I was going to re-merge it and try to fix it, then I decided I like it. Maybe the ghosts had something to do with the distortion?
Thanks to our photowalk organizers and the volunteer host for a wonderful experience!

A point of interest of the Vancouver Orpheum Theatre photowalk was the decorated dome at the top of the theatre.
Originally devoid of decoration, the plaster dome was covered with acoustic tiles when talking films were introduced (1928), but these were removed in the 1970s restoration and the opportunity was taken to create a stunning mural in it. Eighty-one-year-old Tony Heinsbergen, the theatre's original decorator, was engaged to paint a classical-based representation of Orpheus and an assembled throng enraptured by his music, now a focal point of the auditorium.
The Orpheum is home to the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra.
Our tour host mentioned that the artist used family members and friends for models of the figures in the mural.

Natalie Merchant @ the Orpheum Theatre, Los Angeles. August 13th, 2010.
For the first half of the show Natalie played material from her latest album, Leave Your Sleep, which is a concept album about childhood where she sings poems/stories written by 18th & 19th Century poets about (or by!) children. It was really awesome getting to listen to her introduce all the poets & tell their backstory. While each piece was performed she kept their picture projected up above her. For the second half of the show she played some of her earlier stuff (I'll post a set list tomorrow when I'm not so tired). Unfortunately photo wise the show was really difficult because I had to shoot from pretty far back in the wings of the theatre & since it was dead quiet I barely took any shots.
Anyway, it was still really amazing to see her because I grew up on her music via my parents. They were huge fans & one of my first favorite songs was "Seven Years". One of the highlights was when she said she had a "special treat" for us & her & her band played "City of Angels", which was incredible even though they claimed to have never played it together before. Sadly before she left the stage she said she wouldn't see us again until 2020 :(
Full set list:
1) The Land of Nod
2) The Sleepy Giant
3) The Man in the Wilderness
