New Work: Eastern State Penitentiary (PA)

The following is a representative sample of the 400+ images I shot last weekend at Eastern State Penitentiary (Philadelphia, PA). I've been fascinated by the abandoned prison ever since I learned about it a few years ago. While the Penitentiary closed more than 40 years ago, it has been operated for the past few decades as a tourist attraction. These images are heavily influenced by the more than three years I spent as a volunteer at the New Hampshire State Prison for Men.

These images (and 46 others) can also be viewed on my web site.
