The Redford Theatre in Detroit, Michigan has served as an entertainment venue since it opened on January 27, 1928. It is owned and operated by the Motor City Theatre Organ Society. Architects Ralph F. Shreive along with Verner, Wilheim, and Molby designed the 1,581-seat Redford in Exotic Revival style with Japanese motifs. On January 31, 1985, the Redford Theatre was accepted into the National Register of Historic Places. In January 2006, the Redford was proclaimed to be one of the city's ten best interiors by the Detroit Chapter of the American Institute of Architects.
This week's FlickrFriday theme is: #Cinema
Federation Square is a cultural precinct in Melbourne, Australia. It comprises a series of buildings containing a public broadcaster, art galleries, a museum, cinemas, exhibition spaces, auditoria, restaurants, bars and shops around two major public spaces, one covered (The Atrium), the other open to the sky, and composed of two spaces that flow into one another (St. Paul's Court and The Square). The majority of the precinct is built on top of a concrete deck over busy railway lines. Construction began in 1998 and the site opened in 2002.
Federation Square occupies roughly a whole urban block bounded by Swanston, Flinders, and Russell Streets and the Yarra River. The open public square is directly opposite Flinders Street Station and St Paul's Cathedral. The layout of the precinct helps to connect the historical central district of the city with the Yarra River and a new park Birrarung Marr. This refocusing of the city on the Yarra River also partly reinforces links with the Southbank district, whose redevelopment has been ongoing as a key part of central Melbourne since the late 1980s.
The site of Federation Square has had a variety of former uses. The Gas and Fuel Buildings, Jolimont Yard and the Princes Bridge railway station were the immediate predecessors, though in the 19th century there was a morgue on the site. The result of an international design competition in 1997, Federation Square was designed by Don Bates and Peter Davidson of Lab Architecture Studio. A key part of the plaza design is its large, fixed public screen, which has been used to broadcast major sporting events, such as the AFL Grand Final, and still continues to do so. During the 2006 FIFA World Cup, thousands of football fans braved cold nights to watch the matches on the Federation Square screen.
The complex of buildings forms a rough U-shape around the main open-air square, oriented to the west. The eastern end of the square is formed by the glazed walls of The Atrium. While bluestone is used for the majority of the paving in the Atrium and St. Paul's Court, matching footpaths elsewhere in central Melbourne, the main square is paved in 470,000 ochre-coloured sandstone blocks from Western Australia, intended to invoke images of the Outback. The paving is designed as a huge urban artwork called 'Nearamnew', by Paul Carter and gently rises above street level, containing a number of textual pieces inlaid in its undulating surface.
I personally thought the whole site was an ugly modern monstrosity....'carbuncle' comes to mind. Seen from the Eureka Skydeck on the 88th floor of 7, Riverside Quay, Southbank in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
The dangers of Federation square are too numerous to count! More than the regular outdoors? Who can know? This electronic advertisement rotates though a series of images I had to wait for this one to reappear. I waited for people to walk though this scene and it took me a while to get a person who also contrasted with the blue sign enough.
Also. While processing the RAW file, I could not for the life of me get things square/horizontal or vertical. The site itself slopes so I just made the best compromise I could.

Opened in 1959 (closed in the late 90's) our old Drive-In 50' X 100' CinemaScope Screen was super high tech back in the day.
Standing forlorn and abandoned now, it's still visible all over town....
First drive-in since I was a teenager (many moons ago) and Lins’ first drive-in ever. She put the top down and we watched the first Star Trek movie under the stars. It was fabulous fun!
More flowers from the tired, pregnant momma :)
I'm having a few uncomfortable contractions this morning...probably nothing more than braxton hicks though. I do wish that they were something more, but I'm not getting my hopes up. Maybe a nice long walk today will help.
Roxy turned 6 yesterday, she's growing up so fast. We spent the day getting her a couple of gifts that she got to pick out, then lunch and the entire day she got to eat whatever she wanted. She had a blast. We're rounding it all out with a movie of her choice tonight....which means David and I are stuck watching Zookeeper with her since her first choice, Monte Carlo, isn't playing as of yesterday. I feel like such a slacker mom for not knowing when the movie she wanted to see wasn't playing in theaters anymore. But it did seem like it was only out for like a week or something like that, am I wrong? Did it do that horribly that they decided to just pull it of the bigscreen early?!? I can tell you that I wasn't too excited to sit through it, but I'm not a little girl who is obsessed with Selena Gomez (Roxy loves her! Wizards of Waverly Place is one of her faves).
So anyways, I got so caught up in giving her a fun special day that I didn't get any pics of her yesterday! Bad mom! So I'm going to try and do it today, hopefully bring on some more contractions as I'm taking them, lol!
{Explored} Thank you all :)
A picture I took at the old Drive-In Theatre located in Lompoc, California. I really loved the long exposure and clouds racing across the top of the sign.

Redwood Falls, MN
Built in Built in 1931 by D.W. Buckley. The Redwood Theatre provided a seating capacity of nearly 800. The theater was decorated using orchid and green damask wall draperies under a rolling plaster ceiling. The theater also had overstuffed furniture and decorative lighting in addition to having air-conditioning and heat for the patrons. The marquee had more than 1,000 lights which flickered on and off in a traveling pattern.
Buckley also built and owned a second theater, The Falls, a couple of blocks away in 1937 and also erected the 71 Drive-In Theater on the east edge of town. After the Redwood Theatre closed in the late ‘60s, residents still had two movie venues.
The theatre sat empty for nearly 10 years before it was sold and became a racquetball club and health fitness venue for nearly 20 more years before it became vacant again. In 2015 there was an effort to restore it which seems to have not come to fruition as the building looks largely the same as in this photo and has a for sale sign on each side of the the marquee.
We went to our 2nd soccer match at Covenant Health Park. Our local Soccer Club, One Knoxville played against West Chester of New York. This time we got to see the game (no postponement or cancellation this time ). We arrived a little later and actually missed the two goals of the game! It ended in a tie, 1-1. Five minutes after the game, there were fireworks. We stayed for 5-10 minutes and then walked back to the parking garage and then home.

A great marquee on this old theatre. The Halloween decorations were distracting. But, you have to shoot them when you find them.
Saw "The Irishman" with friends at an old repertory theatre in town last night. A cool 3h 30m of pure Scorsese magic, starring Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, Al Pacino and Harvey Keitel. It's kind of neat that we were able to see it on the big screen, so close to its North American-wide release on Netflix next week.
Everyone appreciates the comfort of watching a long movie at home where on-demand content is as ubiquitous as a pause button, microwave popcorn, and zero line-ups for the bathroom. But seeing a five-star movie in an historic theatre with friends is a close second. Highly recommended!
Tigers on the Big Screen
I was looking for an artistic way to capture the great environment in “The Bunker”, where we often watch sports on our 3 TV setup. I wanted to show the Mizzou Tigers on the big projection screen in the middle and also on the 2 side 42” TVs. The final image is actually a composite of 4 photographs. I didn’t want to take a photograph of an actual TV image because the sports game images are protected and I didn’t want to infringe on that. So the first photograph, which is simulated on each of the 3 TVs, is one that I took at a Mizzou Football game at The Zou in Columbia, Missouri, back in October of 2012. It was taken with my small Sony T100 pocket camera. I copied the image to DVD and displayed it on the big screen with our DVD player and projector. While it was displayed I took the “primary” or base photograph. I wanted to do it this way so I could get realistic reflections on the coffee table. This primary photograph was taken with a tripod mounted Sony A850 at 18mm using ISO 100 at f/22 for 15 seconds. Two Sony HVL-F58AM off camera flashes with ¼ CTO gels were set on either side of the camera at full power and zoom of 24mm. The flashes were set for rear sync and were triggered wirelessly with Pocket Wizards. Photograph 3 and 4 were images of the models, and were taken using the same tripod mounted A850 at 18mm using ISO 100 at f/22 for 1/200 second, and the same 2 flashes. In addition a 3rd flash, also equipped with ¼ CTO gel and Lumiquest III soft box was used as a backlight behind the models to provide lighting that would simulate lighting from the projector screen. The “TV image” and the 2 models were inserted on the primary image using photoshop, along with appropriate shadowing for the 2 models on the coffee table.
