Reviews
"The strength of Flickering Treasures lies in the numerous photographs that take center stage in this book in which [Davis] juxtaposes numerous vintage with her own artful photographs in order to procure a "dialogue with the past, not its replication". Consequently, her book does not merely document how numerous movie theaters became stores, office buildings, churches or were taken over by nature. Instead, the photographs create a compelling story that highlights that the history of Baltimore's forgotten movie theaters is also about transformations, opportunity, loss and lack of (architectural) preservation or neglect.", Flickering Treasures is not only a collection of beautiful and evocative photos, but a sociological journey through 20th century America, Juxtaposing current conditions with historical photos, Davis shows how much time has altered the face of our city. Her book is a comment on this transition, and a reminder that change is the only constant., Amy Davis, a photojournalist for the Baltimore Sun, combines vintage with modern color image contrasts to document these urban wonders, considering the social, economic, technological, and political influences on their rise and fall as she crafts a beautiful, iconic collection that will appear to readers far beyond Baltimore City's borders., ""The book is an engaging, often fun and frequently nostalgically joyful combination of historical images and theater ""biographies"" that are tied to conversational memories as expressed by those with the greatest familiarity with the theaters."", "The book is an engaging, often fun and frequently nostalgically joyful combination of historical images and theater "biographies" that are tied to conversational memories as expressed by those with the greatest familiarity with the theaters.", "This book belongs in the library of every Baltimorean that loves movies and their city's history. I'm giving "Flickering Treasures" Five Stars and the highest recommendation.", ... [Flickering Treasures] would make a nice gift for anyone who loves movies, architecture, or the city of Baltimore., Flickering Treasures is not only a collection of beautiful and evocative photos, but a sociological journey through twentieth-century America. Having Baltimore-bred filmmaker Barry Levinson contribute a foreword is icing on the cake.
