Description
Colorized photo from 1949
Original Title: People arriving at a Chicago theater for show starring, in person
Photographer: Stanley Kubrick
Location: 175 North State Street, Chicago IL
Stanley Kubrick has some classic films on his hands, but when he was a photo journalist at a 17-21, he did not know how to focus a camera. While his images were interesting they were largely out of focus and blurry. Which is bothersome because some of his pictures are nice, like this one.
Anyway, as you can tell from the original there was a bit on the left, and I colored that in at first, only to decide that it wasn't a pole and a store next to it, its a frame from another picture, so I had to crop it closer.
This theater still exists today, so getting the colors for the sign was "easy" putting them on in the right spots was harder. Since there are 3 colors in it, yellow, red and orange, but mixed in odd spots. You can't tell by looking at the sign, but its very fancy inside of this building. I think they may have lowered the sign though, as there are no arched doorways or room for it in today's building. And the lights have a different pattern underneath.
