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.

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.

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!
