Paesano: Italian for village, country, rural
Each photograph in this portfolio is a testament to the charm and character of old American movie theaters and drive-ins. These spaces, often nestled in small towns, once thrived as vibrant social hubs where families and friends gathered to escape reality and enjoy the magic of cinema. Some are abandoned, some in a transitional state of preservation and some are still functioning (not necessarily for movies). My inspiration stems from a desire to document their architectural beauty, the stories embedded within their walls, and the emotional connections they fostered among generations.
