Slave flash beneath the bottle triggered with the pop up camera flash turned down to minimum. Still messing around with this new technology. These new flashguns are almost as versatile as flashcubes!
More than 100 women would be crammed in to the room with no ventilation, no light and no toilet facilities. They would spend three months or more here. Those who survived were strong enough to be shipped in boats to the Americas or other colonies.
Old slave cabins still stand on the grounds of Boone Hall Plantation in South Carolina.
Here's some information on the plantation from www.discoversouthcarolina.com/products/41.aspx:
Established in 1681 by Major John Boone, one of the original settlers of South Carolina. Boone Hall began as a rice plantation and was converted into a prosperous cotton plantation in the 1800s. Thomas A. Stone, Canadian ambassador to the Netherlands, built the present plantation manor house in 1935. Adding to Boone Hall's beauty is its famous avenue of oaks - a three-quarter mile drive lined with massive, Spanish-moss draped live oaks. The first of these oaks was planted in 1743 by Capt. Thomas Boone who is believed to be buried beside the avenue, his grave indicated by an unmarked vault. Bordering the avenue of oaks are nine original slave cabins, which housed the plantation's house servants and skilled craftsmen. This cluster of cabins, known as Slave Street, is one of the few remaining intact in the Southeast and the only brick slave street in the U.S. Boone Hall and its grounds were prominently featured in the TV mini-series "North & South" Civil War epic by John Jakes, and Alex Haley's "Queen," among others.
Although technicly illegal in the Republic, the slave trade still exsists in the outlying systems and inbetween gaps in laws that govern the seperate worlds that make up the Republic. Only the Jedi, with their ability to work above local laws to preserve the peace of the Republic are able to effectively track down the slave trade. For Aalya Secura, the investigations threaten to become too personal, when one Twi'lik turns against another.
I stumbled upon this shoot completely by accident, and decided to see if I could get any decent photos while holding my camera way up over my head. My short little self could not see at all over the photographers and drooling men who were stacked about 50 deep.

These 2 slave cabins are found near the rear of the Oakley house in Audubon State Historic Site In West Feliciana Parish, LA. The tall, airy plantation house where John James Audubon stayed is a splendid example of colonial architecture adapted to its climate. Built circa 1806, Oakley predates the relatively heavy details of classic revival in Southern plantation homes and claims distinction for its beautiful simplicity. The rooms of Oakley have been restored in the style of the late Federal Period (1790-1830), reflecting their appearance when Audubon stayed there. The slave cabins date from about the same time.
Red Slave Huts, Bonaire. These are the "red" slave huts as opposed to the white ones. Bonaire's main industry was the production of sea salt. In the days of slavery, men and women were forced to work as saltrakers in the salt evaporation pans of Bonaire's south shore. Slaves were housed in these small huts, now maintained by the local parks department.

This was a slave that was caught in the ash when Mt Vesuvius erupted burying Pompeii. There were other people caught the same way but some slaves were chained and couldn't escape. 35mm

Slave Ship (Slavers Throwing Overboard the Dead and Dying, Typhoon Coming On)
Oil on canvas
One of Turner's most celebrated works, "Slave Ship" is a striking example of the artist's fascination with violence, both human and elemental. He based the painting on an 18th-century poem that described a slave ship caught in a typhoon and on the true story of the Zong, a British ship whose captain, in 1781, had thrown overboard sick and dying enslaved people so that he could collect insurance money only available for those "lost at sea." Turner captures the horror of the event and the terrifying grandeur of nature through hot, churning color and light that merge sea and sky. The critic John Ruskin, the first owner of "Slave Ship," wrote, "If I were reduced to rest Turner's immortality upon any single work, I should choose this."
When Turner exhibited this picture at the Royal Academy in 1840, he paired it with the following extract from his unfinished and unpublished poem "Fallacies of Hope" (1812):
"Aloft all hands, strike the top-masts and belay;
Yon angry setting sun and fierce-edged clouds
Declare the Typhon's coming.
Before it sweeps your decks, throw overboard
The dead and dying - ne'er heed their chains
Hope, Hope, fallacious Hope!
Where is thy market now?"
