A look inside

What Does The Room Look Like, Empty And Full?

Nine photographs of the card room, taken between hands.

Around the room

Nine Views Before A Visit

The four-table floor under the skylights
A round of whist mid-hand
A table set for poker among friends
The counter, with tea already poured
The Kinghorne Street frontage
A five hundred table on a Friday
The house dealer setting a new hand
A points chip stack on the felt
The counter, quiet, near closing time
About these photographs

What The Pictures Do And Do Not Show

  1. Every shot was taken on an ordinary evening, not staged for the camera.
  2. Faces are kept out of frame or blurred where a player is recognisable.
  3. The table layout can change night to night; the photographs are a guide, not a floor plan.
  4. No photograph here shows anything that is not visible to any guest on any night.
