Inside the State Theater, NYC

A friend of mine was included in an exhibition of photographs at the State Theater in New York. The various photographers' work was keyed to opera productions for the new season. To celebrate, they held an opening, to which I was invited.

The theater had been recently renovated (and renamed), and a rehearsal was just letting out when I arrived. The lobby was decorated with costumes that hung from the ceiling, held in place with elaborate frames. The photographs were aligned along the walls on each floor. My friend was not in attendance; she was abroad working on another show. I ran into her husband and children and toured the photographs with them.

I was almost out of film and hadn't put any spare rolls in my bag. I had a few exposures and quickly ran out. This was one of them.
