The cell in Eastern State Penitentiary where Al Capone spent eight months. Probably the most photographed bit of the penitentiary. It was a little tough trying to apply my own style. I went for a bit of a softer look as opposed to gritty.
Seven RAW exposures tonemapped in Photomatix, Photoshop CS4 for curves adjustment, and minor tweaks in LR3.

One of several cell blocks. Most radiated from a central area like a huge flower. Though the architectural style was built to resemble a mediaeval fortress. You would not want to be interred here, particularly in its first 100 years.

Out in the countryside near Mandalay the land is very fertile and there are many products grown for the markets. This young man was plowing in bare feet with a very basic plow and stopping to check his cell phone.
A look from the lower level down the long cell block of an abandoned maximum security prison. The prison has been closed for over a decade & initially was planned on being repurposed however for reasons unknown to me this had never happened. In fact there doesn't even seem to really be much of an effort at repurposing the prison aside from removing records, bedding, clothing & majority of the furniture.

Turning light into power, solar arrays are a must-have for the vast majority of satellites.
With solar arrays sized according to the power needs of the mission, there might be thousands of individual solar cells crammed onto a typical satellite.
The design seen here is a thin version of the European 3G30 triple-junction gallium arsenide solar cell. Produced by Azur Space Solar Power, it is one of the most efficient in the world.
It was 60 years ago this month that the first practical solar (or ‘photovoltaic’ cell) was demonstrated at Bell Labs in New Jersey, USA. This new invention’s very first practical use was in powering early satellites, and solar cells remain pivotal to the space industry to this day.
But photovoltaic electricity generation is also on the way to becoming a major terrestrial energy source, projected to supply close to 3% of global electricity demand by 2020.
This bright future will be the focus of the European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, this September.
Thousands of experts will discuss the progress of photovoltaic technology across – as well as off – the planet.
Historically, the space industry has helped to drive advances in photovoltaics. For instance, the gallium arsenide cells powering today’s satellites are more than twice as efficient as those installed on domestic rooftops.
With such successes in mind, ESA has begun an initiative devoted to the synergies between space and energy technology called Space for Energy, with solar energy a major element.
Meanwhile, next week sees the ESA-organised European Space Power Conference in Noordwijkerhout, the Netherlands, covering all aspects of electrical power for space missions, including batteries, power components and nuclear power.

Cell No. 8 is but a meek attempt to bring back the unfathomable horror of Tuol Sleng to the mind's eye.
The prison (code name: S-21) in the heart of Phnom Pen served the Khmer Rouge as a torture and interrogation camp mainly of former cadres who fell from the Party's favour. 17.000 prisoners were neatly registered, photographed ... and killed. The sources speak of only twelve documented survivors.
Thus was the path leading to a classless and just society of equals without oppression. When i read about these four years (1975 to 1979) of Communist rule the sublime horror seemed to condense in the ghastly notion of ANGKA ("the Organization").
For the first two years of Khmer Rouge regime, most Cambodians had no idea who was running the country. The Communist Party of Kampuchea (CPK), the political movement behind the Khmer Rouge, believed that secrecy was one of the best tools for controlling the population. The Cambodian people didn't even know the CPK existed. All they were told was that the country was now run by Angka. (Source)
Tuol Sleng was a prison in the centre of a deserted ghost town. The very day after taking control of the capital the soldiers ordered its total evacuation. Everybody without exception had to follow one of the treks towards any of the work and re-education camps established far away from the "bourgeois" cities. These policies of forced relocation of the population from urban centres, torture, mass executions, use of forced labor, and malnutrition led to the deaths of an estimated 25 percent of the total population (around 2 million people).

Comrade Duch who was the commander of Tuol Sleng prison faced a life sentence only in 2012. The court cases against other surviving Khmer Rouge leaders are still pending. They are now between 80 and 90 years old. Some have lived a snug life in Phnom Pen for so many years. Two of them appealed against their life sentence in 2014 claiming that they did not receive a fair trial. (Source)

The base photos used here, slightly modified by me of course, were from cell cultures done by Elizabeth Normand here at Brown University. The cells are transfected with proteins that fluoresce if the protein is expressed by the cell and much of the color you see is merely enhanced but not changed.
