{"product_id":"champlain-theatre-mattawa-ontario","title":"Champlain Theatre Mattawa Black and White Photography Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis black and white Champlain Theatre print brings a small-town Ontario streetscape to your wall. The tall sign and brick entrance contrast with a long curved roof beneath cloud-filled sky in Mattawa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tall CHAMPLAIN sign gives this Mattawa streetscape its first point of recognition. I photographed the theatre in Ontario in 2021, using black and white to bring its brick frontage, long curved rear structure, and cloud filled sky into a single architectural view. The empty road leaves the building clearly visible from one side to the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe front and rear have strikingly different shapes. Upper windows and the entrance marquee sit within a rectangular brick facade, while the corrugated roof extends behind it in a broad curve. I find that change especially interesting: a straightforward street frontage reveals a much less expected building when viewed from this angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmaller details give the photograph its everyday character. A bench, streetlamp, bare trees, signs, and rooftop antenna sit around the theatre rather than competing with it. They help describe an ordinary small-town setting. Above them, the cloud patterns occupy a generous portion of the frame, adding movement to a scene whose architectural lines are otherwise quite steady.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI chose monochrome to let brick, metal, pavement, branches, and sky carry separate textures within the same restrained palette. The photograph feels like a portrait of the building within its street, with enough surrounding space to show how it belongs there. For anyone drawn to Canadian architecture and older theatres, the view offers both an identifiable Ontario place and a composition built around contrasts of straight and curved form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e© Dan Kosmayer, 2021\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dan Kosmayer Photography","offers":[{"title":"5 × 7 inches (12.7 × 17.8 cm)","offer_id":50571315445839,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 × 8 inches (15.2 × 20.3 cm)","offer_id":67592334999631,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 × 10 inches (20.3 × 25.4 cm)","offer_id":40731824422991,"sku":null,"price":34.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 × 12 inches (20.3 × 30.5 cm)","offer_id":67593044852815,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 × 14 inches (27.9 × 35.6 cm)","offer_id":40731824488527,"sku":null,"price":42.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 × 17 inches (27.9 × 43.2 cm)","offer_id":67593887449167,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 × 16 inches (30.5 × 40.6 cm)","offer_id":40731824554063,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 × 18 inches (30.5 × 45.7 cm)","offer_id":67594634920015,"sku":null,"price":56.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 × 20 inches (40.6 × 50.8 cm)","offer_id":40731824586831,"sku":null,"price":63.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 × 24 inches (40.6 × 61.0 cm)","offer_id":67595567497295,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 × 24 inches (45.7 × 61.0 cm)","offer_id":40731824619599,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 × 28 inches (50.8 × 71.1 cm)","offer_id":67600634380367,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24 × 36 inches (61.0 × 91.4 cm)","offer_id":41185697693775,"sku":"","price":105.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"28 × 40 inches (71.1 × 101.6 cm)","offer_id":67596514689103,"sku":null,"price":115.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 × 40 inches (76.2 × 101.6 cm)","offer_id":41185750089807,"sku":"","price":125.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A3 (29.7 × 42.0 cm)","offer_id":43805478912079,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A2 (42.0 × 59.4 cm)","offer_id":43804786557007,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A1 (59.4 × 84.1 cm)","offer_id":43804842491983,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A0 (84.1 x 118.9 cm)","offer_id":67747657482319,"sku":null,"price":139.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/9685\/2047\/files\/Champlain-Theatre-Mattawa-Black-And-White-Architecture-Photograph-1.jpg?v=1791591217","url":"https:\/\/dinkosmayer.com\/products\/champlain-theatre-mattawa-ontario","provider":"Dan Kosmayer Fine Art Photography","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
