Original title: Children in front of moving picture theater, Easter Sunday matinee
Photographer: Edwin Rosskam
Location: Location: 4719 South Parkway (now Martin Luther King Drive, Chicago, IL

There are a series of shots of this movie theater, by I believe two photographers at the same time from different angles. What makes it confusing is that the theater has these little wall boxes that have similar but not exactly the same poster previews. I've made a few from this series and while it looks like its the same angle, its not, so the posters don't seem to match from image to image.

On that topic, this scene has two posters that don't match. I do find it weird or interesting that the one on the right is full of fold creases. I was able to find a series of images that had these movies on it, but not the exact posters. So I used colors used in all of them for these.

I cloned out a leg on the left that added nothing. Couldn't do anything about the photo bomber on the right. I guess he adds something, but I would prefer he wasn't there. I think the time traveler in this picture is the center boy holding the tablet disguised as a book, very clever...

I went with a spring palette for this, I wanted bright colors, pinks, reds etc. I like the Rockwell feel this had.
