you sure know how to make the very most of your available light, Motts. Nice work, the whole set!

TERRIFIC work, Mr. Motts. I'm so lloking forward to my ongoing explorations of Opacity.us, and your upcoming additions. Keep up the good work!

I'm not sure they did a carbon arc to xenon conversion on this projector, Art. You can see that the arc housing is still vented outdoors via the stovepipe "chimney" up top. (These projectors worked by striking an electrical arc between two rods of carbon, which would slowly burn away. The crank handle on the back of the projector was used to advance the carbon rods as they burned, and to maintain the arc in the focal point of the projector's reflector.)
Also, note the blue-gray box of NATIONAL-brand carbon rods still sitting on the projector base.

can you imagine visiting this place while under the influence of a hallucinogenic drug? Suddenly everything you saw would make sense and be frought with deep meaning.

Ever trip on one of your outings, Motts?

The bit of blue sky makes this shot! My favorite of many on your terrific site. Thanks for sharing your work.
