I have a unopened bottle of Keller-Geister White Wine does anyone know it value has label like the bottome one on pictures above.

wonderful photo!

A number of years ago I ran projectors like these at a theater in Norwalk, Ohio. They were also Super Simplex with Brenkert carbon arc lamphouses. The DC voltage for the carbons was provided by a motor generator set in another room. The arc gap had to be adjusted every couple of minutes in order to maintain a bright picture. The sound was obtained with an RCA sound head using an old RCA tube amp. A digital reader was installed not long after I left.

I recall many a hot night in the booth during the summer months. These machines gave off a fair amount of heat so the occasional draft of air conditioning was of little help. The roof vents were useless.

Sadly, the theater is now dark (closed) and in foreclosure. I've been told that water damage is taking a toll on the building as it has sat unused for several years. It is now just another once grand theater that has fallen victim to the times... It's a shame.

I'd love to see this as a resort . When i was there last ,it was
imaculate , and beautiful at every turn .. grand place..

Ive been inside the womens ward ( the area that was not remodeled) 3 seperate times but alas that was 10 years ago and security is much tighter now. There was literally a huge hole in the fence u just waited for the right time n went in, then there was a hole in the wall into the basement where u would find lockers with names, you had to go through the basement to go up into the building, i am a sensitive and you are welcome to beleive. What you like however there are many trapped souls here. We explored from basement to attic. Very interesting. And many "spots" where dark energy stil resides. Now im not saying these are demons, i dont believe in such but i do beleive in spirits, ive communicated with, seen, and tried to help many move on. This, in my opinion, is the creepiest place ive been in my life. Im not talking about like in movies with ghostly smoke and mirrors, but if you have the gift and Are open, u will sense, feel, hear, and sometimes see them in here. I say creepy because human nature when we feel something dark it is creepy, however the dark energy i always felt was a sort of sadness and sometimess anger, possibly at they way they were treated in life, possibly by being abandoned by their loved ones to pass over in this place. All i know is as interesting and enjoyable a time we had, it is in fact very dangerous, unless they did some major work in these areas there is no way they could legitimiately have tours safely. It is a shame. Now mind you that was 2002 i cant imagine now! But rest assured, this sensitive experienced much inside that building, its nothing to poke fun at or try to get responses from by being disprespectful to (if u were to get inside) but if you're open, u may sense, see, or feel what still resides. So sad... The overwhelming feeling of sadness that was there. But structually astounding also. A beautiful piece of Buffalo history!

Ice baths, another one of the barbaric treatments used in the 60s/

This is the basement it looks so big to be a basement it looks like it should be the attic.

D'oh! I mistyped. The upper walls are painted Unease (interior flat).
I just got a threatening email from the paint manufacturer, Il Colore Della Paura who have their offices at 1406 Strada Difficoltà, Nuples, and was forced to make the correction.
My apologies to all concerned.

The color of these walls is Compression (interior gloss) (lower wall) and Unease (interior gloss) (upper wall).

Like everybody else here, I am very glad to see you back Motts. I have hope that you will continue to hunt and gather beauties for as long as you are called to do so. Huge respect for you.

And yes, goats will climb/stand/defecate on anything and everything. They have to. They're goats.

I haven't been here for ages Motts! My love for your photography has never died.
I hope you come back soon when everything's calmed down

The color and the light are so perfect - what wonderful work you do--!
