Flickering Gems
Take a look at staff photographer Amy Davis' multimedia presentation Flickering Gems. She spent put in considerable effort photographing the once-grand movie palaces of old in their current state. She used a Lensbaby on a Nikon DSLR to get the selective focus effect more common to cameras with bellows.

Thanks for explaining how Amy Davis created the beautiful movie house photos. I guessed it was a lensbaby but was unsure.
The Sun photo staff is great!

Please pass on to Amy how much I enjoyed the article in the Sun and then the multimedia. Having grown up in Baltimore, I remember riding the Baltimore Transit company to the first run shows DOWNTOWN. When my Mom wanted to get me and my brothers out of the house we got a dollar. That paid for three admissions and pocorn at the local movie house ( Red Wing, State, Grand, Belnord etc).
Thanks for the walk down memory lane.
