Eastern State Penitentiary
I've got a bunch of half-written posts in "draft" status, including the next installment of the Disney trip (yes, a MONTH later), but I'm going to post a few random small things rather than letting the longer posts clog up the pipe.
This post is to note that I finally finished posting the digital photos I took at Eastern State Penitentiary a couple weeks ago (film shots to be added to the set once I finish the rolls and get them developed). I *loved* photographing that place, and I'm already plotting my return. I'm debating whether to bring Al, to organize an outing with one or more local photographer, or to go alone again; part of me wants to share the place with others, and part of me is thrilled at the prospect of spending another 4 hours without speaking. There was something very special and almost spiritual about that quiet time.

Absolutely fascinating!! Were you able to skulk around as you pleased, or is there a tour of some kind? My first concern (a lawyerly one, of course) is falling debris and hazardous conditions.

What I failed to add to my previous comment was this: My first concern is for your safety...thus, the falling debris and hazardous conditions statement. I've got to dispel the myth that lawyers are all lawsuit-happy in this country!

Looking at these makes me feel again that we're living in relatively artless times. There's grace in old architecture--heck, even in old FIRE HYDRANTS--that fills me with vague longing. Lovely photos.
