Tower Theater: Miami, Fl
My favorite memory of this photo is my friend Alex reacting to me angrily waiving off and "shoo-ing" away a car that parked in front of me after I had already locked my composition and was capturing my frames. Did he have the right of way? Yes. it was a legal parking spot. I didn't care. I knew I was going to come home with something I'd be proud of. I guess living in Miami for so long has imbued me with the best and worst of it. On cue, as a reward for my aggression, an older gentleman walks out of the theater wearing a striped shirt that perfectly aligns with the parallel handles of steel on the doors. You just can't plan for this.
In this photo, Miami's iconic Art Deco Tower theater illuminates the historic Calle Ocho which has been a neighborhood staple for nearly a century (first built in 1926). Given the city's insatiable appetite for replacing everything with luxury condos, I am pleased to have this memento to remember it buy if/when the day comes that they turn it into a Starbucks or pilates studio.
