Another 35mm film image from my Diana+. Sad, small movie theater that closed in Chelmsford, MA. No doubt a victim of the big chain theaters. Shooting through the sprocket holes gave it a movie film-like quality that I thought worked well here.

Created using a Diana+ camera with a 35mm back and cross processed Kodak Elite Chrome 100 film. Scanned with an Epson v700 Perfection scanner. No digital manipulation.
