Cinema Halls Update

I have updated the Cinemas Project page on the website with images made in the last year and a half. Do take a look.

I've been photographing cinema halls in Bombay/Mumbai for about 3 years now. As always, feedback, comments and questions are welcomed.

A small selection below:

Beautiful work. I see why my dad still calls cinemas "talkies" so fondly. I especially like the Bharat Mata auditorium photo. The wall, the exhaust fans... Was it lit solely by the screen?

Thanks, Nisha.

Yes, the Bharat Mata picture is lit solely by the screen, as are all the auditorium pictures.

If you look closely at the image (it is hard to see it on the web preview), there is a large portrait of Dadasaheb Phalke hanging in the corner to the right of the screen.
