Behind the Gates
previous / nextFollowing the theme of the previous post this is a view of a cell just beyond the Death Row Gates at Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia.
This was taken on a photo meet up with Betsy Barron, Dan Creighton, Pat Shorten, Ed Heaton, Kelly Heaton, Paul Michko, Lindsay, Russ Devan, Russell Jackson, and Mark (Sherpa) Jackson, at Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia PA on June 5, 2009. It was raining and nasty out which was the perfect weather to be in this place. Check out the slideshow page for more.

Check out my new slideshow page. The link is here and at the top and bottom of every page. I am testing out several formats for the slideshows each with their own advantages and disadvantages. It will be an evolving process and I will add new ones from time to time. I hope you will stop by and check them out and feel free to leave me some feedback.
I want to take a moment to express my sympathies for the people of Iran during such turbulent times. I hope and pray that they have their voices heard and that the terrible violence against them is ended. I am including some links in this post at the request of a fellow photoblogger.

Gorgeous processing and perfect composition! Beautiful work :)
it does look pretty ominous with the blurred out fence and decaying stuff there.. great mood though.. :)
great picture!!! The blurred foreground is great on this type of subject. Bravo Laurie
Great photo, and no doubt a difficult one given the range of lighting. These photo meet ups are fun, aren't they? We had one last week, met some new photogs, including a young lady who now started a blog (http://beatofaneye.blogspot.com) after we suggested it. Btw, got a train photo for you.
I am a keen fan of these types of photo. It's a visual history that is worth treasuring no matter how ugly and unwelcoming the place.
Wow love the decaying look of this shot. Really well done!
Another stark reminder. A really gritty one at that!
Stunning, gritty shot. Love all the textures andtreatment.
bonjour,
nice framing..great exposure..Bravo!
Very nice tones and luminosity play
Really cool texture that is created by the grid of the fence.
This vue is a kind of explanation of what we saw on the previous picture. Nice textures.
My preference goes on the previous one.
What a dismal place to live out one's life. Stunning shot.
Interesting use of a pattern
