Alcatraz
Went to Alcatraz over the weekend. I was expecting to be disappointed by some exploitive trash but I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. We took an audio tour that did a wonderful job of recreating the atmosphere of the prison while it was in use. You are made keenly aware of the isolation prisoners felt at seeing lush scenery and a vibrant city out their window.
Interestingly, since most of the windows were frosted, a beautiful warm light suffused the cell house. I'll post some more pics tomorrow - it felt good to be shooting again.
