One interesting story about when I found this drive-in--I had to crawl through a bunch of dead brush and in between a barbed-wire fence just to make it inside. When I got in and saw the hay stacked in row upon row, I knew I had hit gold. For some of the theatres I came across, I would only take a few images of them before loading up the hasselblad and moving on. Not at the Airline. Since I'd crawled through a thicket to get to it, I took a lot of photos when I was in. I took shots of signs, the projection booth, abstract images of the screen and lots and lots of images with hay in them. I couldn't believe my good fortune of stumbling across the hay. Here are three of the outtakes.

Fabulous!! Any rattle snakes?
I really love these photos. And remember, we talked of hay bales before. And the fact that I am fascinated with the middle of America, with rural America. Plus movies, of course.
If all goes well, I should be moving into my own apartment next month. I haven't a single piece of decoration yet really. Is it possible to buy a print of that first photo?
Eva--
I can make you a print of the first one if you'd like one--it would be awesome for you to have one!
Shoot me an e-mail and we can talk price and size. The image will be square just like the ones shown, but I'll have to talk to photo place here in LA to figure out what they charge to make a print.
Amazing photos.
Keep 'em coming. I love them. We bought "The Esquire" at the Circle Cinema show as a gift for my parents as they still live in Hobart, the location of the theater. Once we got it home Sharon fell in love with it and we kept it. One of our favorite pieces of art.
Dude: That makes my day! I'll post some outtakes for the Esguire soon...
