Part 3: The Lyrics Last Picture Show
I’m finally concluding my Lyric Picture House Trilogy of Blogs, which ends with a photographic gathering of the visits to my favourite childhood place, the place that was The Cinema of My Youth that was fleetingly re-opened after 22 years from its dormant state of being untouched by human eyes for Lucy Skaer’s Film for an Abandoned Projector only then to be entombed yet again from our loving gaze… such a sad waste.

Fantastic and emotional!!!!
Thanks Andrea
Wow, amazing photographs, Carl!! I love immersing myself in such nostalgia, and your photos really bring everything to life. Loved looking through them all, great work!
Why thank you so much for the lovely comments, I really appreciate them.
Its a great old cinema, shame no one restores it, as I’m people would rather visit them than the MultiPlex
How do you get the layout of you photos in your posts??
Its a new setting in the Dashboard under the Settings/Media part ..
Tiled Galleries
Display all your gallery pictures in a cool mosaic.
Does all the work for you
Thank you so much, I really like the way they look.
Very nice post. And what a lot of work for just one post! Love the photos. And the layout of “tiled galleries” setting works well too.
I did get a bit carried away with all the pics, the new tiled galleries makes it easy to do as well. 🙂
Very good series, i love it.

Thanks Doy
Fantastic. The cinema was the heart beat of my youth. So few independent picture houses around these days.
Ghave you seen “Cinema Paradiso”? I do highly recomend it. Also, you might like to pop over to my place and check out a little Greek cinema experience of mine.

Thanks Bill, I’d love to renovate an old cinema to it’s former glory, they have so much soul.
Loved your Greek Cinema post, the kind of post you need to put your feet up to read and really enjoy it.
I find your blog very inspiring. 🙂
Followed your work!
