This photograph was taken at the Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia. The history behind the Penitentiary is fascinating and the subject matter to photograph is equally as fascinating. To learn more about the Penitentiary you can visit my personal blog where I did a series of images, some accompanied by poems that I wrote about solitary confinement.


She was only there to model, Laurent! Sorry – the guards do not look like that!

Isn’t this the same place that Joe has shot images of as well?
Even if not, the series is great

Thanks Joe! If you come down, be sure and let me know! I’ll meet you there! It really is the coolest place to photograph! Mysterious and powerful as well as colorful! Enjoy the day! It’s nice to see sunshine in the NorthEast this morning!
