| Arcade Arches, Fox Theater, Atlanta, Georgia © Doug Hickok All Rights Reserved This image may conjure visions from The Arabian Nights, perhaps as a setting for an Ali Baba or Aladdin story. But it is actually a detail of Moorish architecture from historic Fox Theater, in Atlanta, Georgia. Completed in 1929, The Fox was designed as a Shriner's Temple but later converted into an opulent movie theater. These days it provides a popular venue for performing artists. This year it will feature stars such as Il Volo, Norah Jones, The B-52s, Ringo Starr, and Garrison Keillor's A Prairie Home Companion. For a little weekend entertainment, I have included below three photography links that I hope you will enjoy. This girl seems to levitate like a magic carpet. Try this for self-assignment photography. Finally, a collection of masterworks by Marc. |

Incredible photo! Great job.
ReplyDeleteI like the shape and texture of the stones in this photo Doug... and the history was quite enjoyable....peter:)
ReplyDeleteI wondered where the shot was taken - Atlanta was not on my list!
ReplyDeleteAs I've mentioned before, I have been inside that theater hundreds of times, Doug, almost literally, but the way you have shown select details has made it come alive in new ways for me. BRAVO.
ReplyDeleteWow - love the colors and shape! Happy weekend wishes :)

Love the texture, richness and perspective of this shot. Looks like a piece of art.
ReplyDeleteAWESOME! Beautiful shot Doug, love the textures and colors.
ReplyDeleteYou are not going to believe this.
ReplyDeleteI visited Hayashi's blog like a week ago!
Really interesting idea. :o)
But you need a helper to take the pictures for you.
Perhaps something you and B can have a go when you get the chance.
So how do you open their doors at the Fox?
Do you have to shout "Open Sesame"? :o)
>I wonder if the big guy ever ate blackbird pie here?
Ha.. Sure!
Wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the king?
Right, off for a long weekend away.
See you next Tuesday.
Wow!
ReplyDeleteWell done Doug!
Yep, I can totally see it. Nice eye here. Like the reds.
ReplyDeleteJ'aime ces belles couleurs chaudes très en harmonie entre elles. Une belle photo exotique

Nice detail, creating a real Arabian mood... NIcely seen.

impressive architectural details ... some that one would not expect in a theatre in atlanta!
ReplyDeletelove the tonality and the colours and the elegant curves ...
Ooh, I really like this extraction. The crop very nicely compresses this three dimensional scene into a two dimensional abstraction. Love it!
