Image
  The building for the Pix has been on and off since the 30s. It was originally a horse stable at first for a long time and then it was a flower shop in the 2000s.  The Pix is a movie theater in downtown Albany. It is owned by Rod and Denise Bigner. They bought it in 2013 from Jeff and Robin Mexico. Rod was a pastor but that wasn't making a lot of money and they had been wanting to buy a movie theater for a while as they both really loved movies and the Oscars.

They stood out because they had a strong sense of empathy and social conscience. He photographed civilians' reactions to whatever was happening and it would have a strong sense of truth in them. His photographs always had a purpose, and for the most part, it was to bring awareness to something. This is really ironic considering the fact that he was a colossal asshole who was very self-sabotaging and was very hard to work with. He had a difficult time with editors and he refused to allow any
