A Show Of Retro ...

“I adore the theater and I am a painter. I think the two are made for a marriage of love.

I will give all my soul to prove this once more.”

The historically cool Roxy Theatre paints a pop of retro on Main Street, Northampton, Pennsylvania in this painterly, HDR shot I captured on a beautiful mid-August afternoon.

The Roxy originally opened in 1921 as The Lyric, which can be seen engraved at the top of the building.  This theatre was renovated in 1933 in the tremendously popular art deco style ~ and renamed The Roxy after the famous New York City theatre and its namesake showman Samuel “Roxy” Rothapfel.

Today, as the city’s only commercial theatre, “The Roxy continues to be the greatest show in town,” presenting both Hollywood favorites and live entertainment. It features a seven rank Wurlitzer pipe organ.

The Winter's Dance Video ...

Stevie Wonder's beautiful and melancholy "All In Love Is Fair" sets
the mood for this reflection of winter showcased by my original photos.
My greatest joy as a photographer is harmonizing my favorite original
photos to music to create a lingering snapshot of the season. Enjoy!

Night At The Roxy ...

"The stage is not merely the meeting place of all the arts,
but is also the return of art to life."
