The Rocky Horror Picture Show at the Port Theatre in Cornwall.


Photo by a kindly Columbia cosplayer

Me as Henry Woolf's photographer character who says the first spoken line in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I was in Jean Genet's The Balcony at the University of Guelph in 1983 which Woolf directed. He never talked about being in Rocky Horror or Steptoe and Son, but he did talk about working with Harold Pinter and Orson Welles. I was the projectionist for the first showing of  Rocky Horror in Cornwall in 1976 at St. Lawrence College - it had only had its first screening outside the UK, by the Canadian Film Institute, at the NAC in Ottawa on August 15, 1975, and it had not become a cult movie yet. Larry Sylvain, the theatre owner, told me that the video they were showing was from an original 35mm print of the movie they owned.


Let's do the Time Warp again! There is a stage in front of the screen for dancing.

I had forgotten to turn the autofocus back on on this lens, so crap photos!

Opps

 Just noticed my photos of Comet Lemmon were really lens flares! They were green like the comet was in real photos but they were all near a light source on the ground.
