Normal Service will be resumed as soon as possible

Due to the nature of blogging I've lost the structue I need to follow. This should be rectified as soon as possible.

And to anyone coming back to check on my progress. The late forties and fifties are not missing. I just thought I'd do a little Quantum Leaping. I'll get back to them later.

1988 has been added, again out of sequence. Additional notes to cope with the three screen listing, although the basic message is if the film is listed as "No.1 thats screen number and film that showed until changed.
no number listed is one day/ evening special normally marked as such.

My notes from my original manuscript don't cover any time it was used by the Fringe, as a POD venue and C- electric. With my Fringe blogs taking up a little part of my life looks like I'll have more to add.

Growing Up with Cinema in my Blood

My childhood was spent watching films on the big screen. Being dyslexic I spent a year or so of my life behind others in school; until luckily one of my teachers spotted the symptoms.
Then I read everything I could get my hands on. One particular magazine always stood out in my childhood years that of National Geographic. Inspired by the articles and photographs there in it was still photography that would eventually become my passion. From a childhood of watching films I was inspired more to capture the world in still form than as moving pictures. Although watching films has "inspired me to "break the rules" and experiment with how images are shot and composed.

Just the other day I watched a "The Secret of My Sucess." And the scene where Helen Slater is drinking from the water fountain, my first thoughts were, "that's my type of image." Tight cropped, let the viewer imagine the whole picture.
