PICTURES FROM PRISON


Alright, well I've never actually been to prison...not even the drunk tank...not even to visit or pick someone up from the drunk tank. Whew...Dad, if you're reading, rest assured. :)
However, one experience that I will never forget is my visit to Alcatraz Island. Who would have thought that a prison would become an American National Park?

Now generally I'm not big on cheesy guided tours, (I usually bypass and let my lens lead me) but this was a good one. Imagine stepping into a cell with concrete walls, a steel frame for a bed, a toilet and a sink (what I consider the only source of relief in such a place). Now it wasn't the production value of eerie voices echoing in my rented headset that stirred me. Seriously, if there are Ghosts...they are thriving here.

I hang this sink in my washroom. Every morning I am thankful for my freedom.
